<p>The Egyptian military has called for an end to more than a week of demonstrations demanding President Hosni Mubarak steps down immediately after nearly 30 years in power.</p>
<p>&#8220;Your message has arrived, your demands became known,&#8221; military spokesman Ismail Etman said on state television in an address directed to young protesters. &#8220;You are capable of bringing normal life to Egypt.&#8221;</p>
<p>Internet service also began returning to Egypt after days of an unprecedented cut-off by the government. And state TV reported that authorities are easing a night-time curfew, which now runs from 5pm to 7am instead of 3pm to 8am.</p>
<p>Mr Mubarak&#8217;s embattled regime and the powerful military appear to be making a unified push to end a street movement to drive out the 82-year-old leader.</p>
<p>The movement, built on the work of online activists, is fuelled by deep frustration with an autocratic regime blamed for ignoring the needs of the poor and allowing corruption and official abuse to run rampant.</p>
<p>After years of tight state control, protesters emboldened by the Tunisia unrest took to the streets on January 25 and mounted a once-unimaginable series of protests across the country.</p>
<p>The army gave a tacit endorsement to the movement on Monday by saying it would not use force against protesters and that they had legitimate demands.</p>
<p>On Tuesday, the protesters brought more than 250,000 people into Cairo&#8217;s main square to demand Mr Mubarak leaves within days.</p>
<p>Hours later, Mr Mubarak issued a defiant response in an address to the nation, announcing he would serve out the last months of his term and &#8220;die on Egyptian soil&#8221;.</p>
<p>He promised not to seek re-election in September, but that did not calm public fury as clashes erupted between his opponents and supporters.</p>
