The Egyptian army has said it will not use force against protesters calling for the removal of President Hosni Mubarak ahead of a “million people” march.

The military said it considers the people’s demands “legitimate”.

At almost exactly the same time as the announcement was made, several tanks blocking access to Cairo’s main square where protests have been taking place, rolled back some 500 meters.

Everyone was looking at each other in almost disbelief because the tanks had been stationed here for a few days.

One got the sense that they were withdrawing to perhaps to allow large numbers of people to come into the square uninhibited.
