Now, clashes are taking place between demonstrators and the police again in Tahrir square in Cairo...

 

[JBF]

Yup, tear gas all over the place and the clashes goes on. Shameful.

 

[ReBeL]

Many police officers who killed demonstrators during the revolution were sent out of jail yesterday.

It was shocking for some people, but I think it is so predictable.

They were sent back today...

They were sent back today...

Who?

 

[JBF]

The officers as the PM said.

The officers as the PM said.

He is just talking blabla as he seems not having any real authority in the whole country. He just gets the orders of Tantawi and Co. who have no intention at all to set the criminals of the former regime accountable because of one clear reason. They are a part of that regime, and any fair trial will follow them sooner or later.

 

[JBF]

I agree that he holds no authority and that's why I believe those Tantawi words he repeated will be done. Tantawi is scared now more than ever from the Tahrir and the revolution. He knows only days are separating him from another rebellion.

Huge clashes tonight in Cairo between those who support the military council and those who oppose it.

150 people were injured.

Aljazeera: Injuries are around 200.

Egypt uprising: Islamists lead Tahrir Square rally

Tens of thousands of people have packed Cairo's Tahrir Square, after the first call by Islamist leaders for nationwide demonstrations since President Hosni Mubarak was overthrown in February.

Many protesters - dominated by Muslim Brotherhood supporters - are calling for an Islamic state and Sharia law.

Correspondents say the rallies will be a worrying development for secularists.

The Brotherhood is the most organised political force in Egypt, although it was not prominent in the revolution.

Tensions have been running high between Egypt's Islamist and secular groups, who are at odds over the transition to democracy in the Arab world's most populated country.

Who would have thought?

You do know that the Muslim brotherhood promised not to run for presidency, right?

If the people want an Islamist nation, they can have one.

 

[king Ale]

Sure.

 

[Fred]

I hope thats not a sarcastic "sure"

 

[king Ale]

Of course not. It's still too early to judge I know, but this is looking more and more like Iran of 32 years ago. An Islamic republic Iran was what people wanted back in the day (unanimously voted by 98.9% of people) and now we have this. Don't know how Egypt will look like if the majority push for an Islamic Egypt.

 

[Fred]

Hopefully it won't be a repeat of the Iran example

The army has finished the last gathering in Tahrir square.

So, has the revolution changed the regime?

Slightly.

It takes decades to build a democracy.

You can't build a democracy using the same corruption figures of the previous regime and army.
