11:28pm Tariq Ramadan tells Al Jazeera from London that he believes Obama is applying a win-win strategy for Egypt.

Ramadan summarizes the bottom line of the protest movement: "We are expecting democracy, transparency, and freedom of expression".

Edit for 11:37pm

11:37pm Basheer Nafi, a historian, tells Al Jazeera:

My feeling is that we are witnessing a second wave of the Arab liberation movement ... In the first wave, the Arabs liberated themselves from colonial powers and foreign domination. I think now, the very heart of the Arab world, the backbone of the Arab world, is leading the move towards freedom and democracy and human rights.
