For those not in the loop. Egypt had protests 9 months ago to get ex-pres Mubarak out of office and have elections. after 18 days, he stepped down. and the military took over until elections. it has been 9 months of terrible leadership, elections are this month and the army wants another year in power. The army has been leading in the same manner as mubarak. and egyptians are fed up with it. More than a million people are protesting in Tahrir Square



The death toll in the battle for Cairo’s Tahrir Square rose to 33 yesterday as fighting between protesters and the police escalated sharply.

Police fired tear-gas and plastic bullets as demonstrators calling for Egypt’s army rulers to quit hurled stones and rocks from behind makeshift barricades.

Many of those who died succumbed to bullet wounds, but although protesters have brandished bullet casings, police deny using live ammunition. It was the third consecutive day of street battles which have left more than 1,700 people injured and threaten to spiral out of control.
