Cairo, Nov 25: Unmoved by the ruling Generals’ overtures like appointment of a new Premier, tens of thousands of Egyptians today packed the iconic Tahrir Square here for a “last chance” mass rally demanding that the military junta hand over power to civilians immediately.
The latest protests follow days of clashes between the demonstrators and riot police that left at least 41 people dead and over 3,000 injured.
The violence has been centered around Tahrir Square, the epicentre of the movement that led to Hosni Mubarak’s ouster as President in February.
As protesters filled up the Square, organisers said that today’s demonstration was “the last chance million-man protest,” implying that the military rulers do not have much time to accede to their demands.
