Egypt protesters to 'finally' go home as Mubarak quits



CAIRO- Egyptian protesters who have been camping out for 18 days in central Cairo's Tahrir Square said they will go home after the celebrations following the resignation of President Hosni Mubarak on Friday.
"We can finally go home!" cried Mohammed Ibrahim, 38, a protest organiser. "We have been here for 18 days waiting for him to leave and we did it."

The protesters who occupied the square have no central organisation to direct them, but several who spoke to AFP said they would spend the night in the square to celebrate their victory before packing up and heading home.
Massive nationwide protests demanding Mubarak's immediate overthrow erupted on January 25, leading briefly to clashes with police and pro-regime thugs that left at least 300 people dead and scores more injured or detained.
