<p>Hundreds of anti-government protesters have returned to Cairo&#8217;s central Tahrir Square, chanting slogans against Hosni Mubarak just hours after the Egyptian president fired his Cabinet but refused to step down.</p>
<p>Protesters have overwhelmed the police forces in parts of Cairo and other cities around Egypt, and overnight the army replaced the police in guarding government buildings and other key areas.</p>
<p>Several tanks were parked in Tahrir Square, but soldiers did not intervene in the protest there.</p>
<p>Not far from the square, the army has sealed the road leading to the parliament and cabinet buildings.</p>
<p>Along the Nile, smoke was still billowing from the ruling party&#8217;s headquarters, which protesters set ablaze during Friday&#8217;s unrest.</p>
<p>The sight of protesters pouring into the square for a fifth day indicated Mubarak&#8217;s words in a televised speech shortly after midnight had done little to cool the anger over Egypt&#8217;s crushing poverty, unemployment and corruption.</p>
<p>Mobile phone services have been restored after a government-ordered communications blackout aimed at stopping the protests. Protesters have used text messaging and social networking websites to co-ordinate demonstrations.</p>
<p>Vodafone and Mobinil mobile phone services were working on Saturday morning, about 24 hours after they were cut. The internet service appeared to remain shut down.</p>
<p>Vodafone said that the Egyptian government had ordered all mobile telephone operators to suspend services &#8220;in selected areas&#8221; of the country.</p>
<p>The UK-based Vodafone Group is one of the largest mobile phone operators in Egypt, with more than 25 million subscribers.</p>
