A day-by-day summary of significant events in Egypt's upheaval, as compiled by the CNN Wire:

TUESDAY, JANUARY 25

As many as 20,000 protesters spill into the streets of Cairo in an unprecedented display of anti-government rage inspired in part by the Tunisian revolt. The official Middle East News Agency (MENA) reports three people dead and 49 wounded in clashes between protesters and police in Cairo and the port city of Suez.

JANUARY 26

Police use water cannons and tear gas against thousands of protesters who returned to the streets of Cairo and other cities. MENA reports at least 90 arrests in Cairo, while state-run Nile News reports at least 27 wounded in Suez.

JANUARY 27

Mohamed ElBaradei, the Nobel Peace Prize-winning former head of the U.N. nuclear watchdog agency and a possible presidential candidate, returns to Egypt to join demonstrations. The Muslim Brotherhood, Egypt's largest opposition bloc, calls on its supporters to join protests after Friday's weekly prayers.

The government responds by arresting a prominent Muslim Brotherhood leader and shutting down internet and text-messaging services.

JANUARY 28

Protesters battle police in Cairo, Suez and Alexandria to demand an end to President Hosni Mubarak's rule. The headquarters of Mubarak's ruling National Democratic Party is ransacked and set ablaze. Egyptian troops move onto the streets through clouds of black smoke and tear gas to enforce a curfew, the first time since 1985 that the army has been used to put down domestic unrest.

JANUARY 29

In a speech delivered shortly after midnight, Mubarak announces that he has fired his Cabinet and acknowledges the "legitimate demand" for political and economic reforms. He names Omar Suleiman, his longtime intelligence chief, as vice president -- the first time he has filled that position since taking office in 1981. Protesters are not satisfied: Clashes continue around Cairo's Tahrir (Liberation) Square, and hospital officials in Alexandria tell CNN that at least 31 people have been killed there.

In Washington, U.S. President Barack Obama says he has told Mubarak that he must take "concrete steps" to deliver on his pledge of reform. Britain, France and Germany issue a joint statement calling on Mubarak to begin a "process of transformation," including free elections.

JANUARY 30

Egyptian warplanes and helicopters buzz over Tahrir Square in a show of force as thousands of demonstrators defy curfew orders. ElBaradei is met by cheering throngs who surround him as he arrives at the square, telling supporters, "What we started can never be pushed back." In a CNN interview, he calls on Mubarak to "leave today and save the country."

JANUARY 31

On the eve of a planned "march of millions," Egypt's military command announces it won't open fire on peaceful protesters. Suleiman says the government has begun discussing reform with opposition parties, promising plans will be drawn up "expeditiously." Egyptian authorities shut down the country's rail network, post troops at key locations and pull the plug on mobile phone and internet service ahead of the next round of demonstrations.

FEBRUARY 1

Mubarak announces he will not seek a new term in September's elections, but plans to stay in the country and finish his current one. Protesters packed into Tahrir Square wave shoes in the air -- a deep insult in the Arab world -- and vow to continue their demonstrations until Mubarak quits outright. Clashes between pro- and anti-Mubarak demonstrators in Alexandria leave 12 injured.

FEBRUARY 2

Pro- and anti-Mubarak demonstrators battle each other with rocks, chunks of concrete and Molotov cocktails around Tahrir Square throughout the day as Egyptian troops stand by. Opposition protesters say the pro-Mubarak demonstrators include plainclothes police officers and government workers who are paid to take part. Government officials deny the allegation, but independent observers say the tactic is one Mubarak has routinely employed in the past.

The pro-Mubarak demonstrators also attack several international journalists as state television portrays the unrest as a "foreign conspiracy."

FEBRUARY 3

As street battles continue around Tahrir Square, Egyptian authorities crack down on journalists and human rights activists bearing witness to the crisis. Several of the leading opposition parties say they won't hold talks with the government until the clashes end.

Mubarak tells the American news network ABC that he was "unhappy" with the violence, adding he would step down right away -- but says his immediate resignation would plunge Egypt into further chaos. Prime Minister Ahmed Shafiq apologizes for attacks on anti-government protesters and vows to punish those responsible, while Suleiman tells demonstrators, "Finish up the strike. Your demands have been met."

FEBRUARY 4

Undeterred by deadly clashes and government crackdowns, tens of thousands rally in Tahrir Square for a largely peaceful mass rally. Their message to Mubarak: "Leave."

In another plaza just half a kilometer (a quarter of a mile) away, supporters and foes of Mubarak fight running street battles. Youths wielding sticks and rocks fight and the sound of gunfire rings out.

The opposition Muslim Brotherhood, an Islamist group officially banned by the government, says one of its offices was stormed by a "gang of thugs." The satellite news network Al-Jazeera reported a similar attack on its Cairo office.

FEBRUARY 5

Apparent fissures in Egypt's regime surface as key members of the embattled ruling party, including Mubarak's once heir-apparent son, give up their party leadership posts and the vice president begins talks with opposition leaders.

The embattled Mubarak, however, remains in his position as head of the party's higher council and as head of state despite popular demands that he relinquish power immediately.

The president's foes question whether the moves are meaningful or cosmetic. Demonstrators on the streets say Mubarak is just trying to appease the people.

FEBRUARY 6

Suleiman and representatives of key opposition groups, including the Muslim Brotherhood, hold talks. State television reports that they agree to a future end to the military emergency law in effect since Mubarak came to power in 1981, among other reforms. But other opposition figures say the groups that met with Suleiman didn't represent them and that the government is trying to trick protesters into ending the demonstrations.

Egyptian courts and some banks reopen after being shuttered since January 27. Prime Minister Ahmed Shafiq tells CNN conditions Sunday were "extremely better than yesterday." Police have been told "not to bother" human rights activists and journalists, he says. However, Al-Jazeera says a Cairo-based correspondent for its English-language network has been seized by Egyptian troops.

FEBRUARY 7

Protesters form a human chain in Tahrir Square, vowing not to budge until Mubarak and those around him are forced from office as a second week of demonstrations comes to a close. Egypt's government tries to restore a sense of normalcy, scaling curfews back and announcing that sales of its treasury bonds will resume. The United States criticizes its talks with opposition figures, however, with a State Department spokesman telling reporters in Washington that "major figures in Egyptian society" have not been invited.

Google executive-turned-activist Wael Ghonim, who had been missing since January 28, is released a day after Egyptian officials acknowledge he was in their custody. In an interview on Egypt's Dream TV, Ghonim -- who had taken part in the protests -- breaks down in tears when shown photos of those killed in the uprising, blaming their deaths on "everyone who was holding onto power greedily and would not let it go."

FEBRUARY 8

Suleiman announces that a committee has been authorized to amend Egypt's constitution to allow for free, fair and competitive elections, with the amendments drafted by an independent judicial commission. Galvanized by the emotional words of freed Google executive Wael Ghonim, thousands of Egyptians jam Cairo's Tahrir Square and dismiss government pledges of constitutional reforms.

In Washington, the White House calls comments by Suleiman that Egypt is not ready for democracy "particularly unhelpful." In a phone call with Suleiman, Vice President Joe Biden pushes his Egyptian counterpart to produce "immediate, irreversible progress" toward a transition.

FEBRUARY 9

Unrest extends beyond Cairo and demonstrators clash with police in southern Egypt, leaving two dead. Protesters attack the residence of the governor of Port Said over what state television calls a land and housing dispute.

In an interview with the American television network PBS, Foreign Minister Ahmed Aboul Gheit told the network's "NewsHour" that Egypt's U.S.-backed military might have to intervene if Mubarak were forced out. Saudi Arabia says it would consider matching the roughly $1.5 billion military U.S. military aid to Egypt if Washington decides to cut off aid.

In a CNN interview, Ghonim calls on Mubarak and his top advisers to step down, adding, "Do whatever you want to do. We are getting back our country."

FEBRUARY 10

After a day of intense speculation, Mubarak announces that he is delegating power to Suleiman but remaining in office. Egypt's ambassador to the United States says the move makes Suleiman the "de facto president." ElBaradei calls the move insufficient, telling CNN, "Suleiman is considered to be an extension of Mubarak. Neither of them is acceptable to the people."

The opposition is re-energized by striking petroleum, railway and telecommunications workers, who have walked off the job demanding better compensation and more transparency. Protests in Tahrir Square respond to Mubarak's announcement with chants of "Get out! Get out!"

FEBRUARY 11

Just hours after Mubarak flees Cairo for the coastal city of Sharm el-Sheikh, Suleiman announced Mubarak's resignation, saying the president transferred power to the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces to "run the affairs of the country.

The news sparked wild cheers from tens of thousands of demonstrators in Cairo's Tahrir Square. Demonstrators chanted "Egypt is free!" upon hearing the news.

The army issued a communique saying that the emergency laws that had been in effect since Mubarak came to power in 1981 would be lifted when conditions allow. A high-ranking Egyptian military official said the army's command was discussing whether to dismiss Mubarak's government and parliament, and also when the next election would be held.
