(CNN) -- Egyptians swarmed Cairo's Tahrir Square Tuesday, seeking to revive a democratic groundswell that swept the country's former strongman from power nearly two years ago and to demand that the man they chose to replace him respect their wishes.
Protesters waved flags and banners, chanted slogans and called on President Mohamed Morsy to roll back his decree on presidential powers or resign. The crowd included many different Egyptian factions, including Western-style liberals, secularists, moderates and women's rights activists.
"We ask you, Mr. President, to stop this for the sake of our country," one man in the square told CNN.
