Egypt Revolution Reboot Part II

<div style="text-align: justify;">Thousands of protesters in major Egyptian cities are now entering the fifth day of public demonstrations calling for the military leadership to step down. The streets of Cairo around Tahrir Square have been flooded with tear gas, as riot police and members of Egypt's military clash with protesters. The two sides have advanced and retreated, hurling stones, tear gas canisters, and other debris at each other, and security forces reportedly continue to fire rubber bullets and some live rounds into the crowds. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The international community has stepped up criticism of Egypt's military leaders, and has expressed anger at the violence used against the protesters. Human rights groups have now raised the estimated death toll to at least 38. The recent unrest has led to the resignation of the interim civilian government, but other concessions from Egypt's Field Marshal Mohamed Hussein Tantawi have not satisfied the crowds who remain in the streets fighting what they see as an unfinished revolution.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitp2GB9f585omq89YfY6DBZjOINH8-z7XeVPtwqtJyuhIonR1Ra_NSs1FicV9OMDSzH1j5QGvYF5q9e86dVtJ2ifGLETYPykaEcct8ky2Aj0Kep7l5Ci4z_AqqXjohDeyhwYIfFghfhU8/s1600/Egypt+Revolution+Tahrir+Square+Cairo+November+2011+001.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="442" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitp2GB9f585omq89YfY6DBZjOINH8-z7XeVPtwqtJyuhIonR1Ra_NSs1FicV9OMDSzH1j5QGvYF5q9e86dVtJ2ifGLETYPykaEcct8ky2Aj0Kep7l5Ci4z_AqqXjohDeyhwYIfFghfhU8/s640/Egypt+Revolution+Tahrir+Square+Cairo+November+2011+001.jpg" width="640"></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">A protester throws a tear gas canister, which was earlier thrown by riot police during clashes along a road which leads to the Interior Ministry, near Tahrir Square in Cairo, on November 22, 2011.

Egypt Revolution Reboot

<div style="text-align: justify;">Over the weekend, Cairo's Tahrir Square once again was the home of massive protests against the country's leadership. This time, both secular and Islamist groups gathered in the tens of thousands for a "Friday of One Demand." Together, they called on Egypt's new military rulers to honor their promise to leave power after the fall of former dictator Hosni Mubarak in February. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Riot police and military units descended on the square, breaking up encampments, making arrests, brutally beating some, and firing tear gas and rubber bullets into the crowd. (Egyptian doctors are claiming that live ammunition has been found in several bodies.) </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">According to the Ministry of Health, the toll as of this morning includes least 1,500 injured and a minimum of 23 dead. The renewed clashes come just one week before parliamentary elections scheduled for a week from today, a vote that now may be jeopardized. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Gathered here are photos from Tahrir Square this weekend, as Egyptians once again took to the streets to be heard and paid dearly in their clashes with security forces.<br><br>Wonder if Malaysian Government will pull off our student this time around...<br><br><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding-bottom: 6px; padding-left: 6px; padding-right: 6px; padding-top: 6px; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_IX2Ln1-S-mVnyEmjBuvdBgK9i6hcpNAek9R2T3F5x_11Ce6maYnmEUJNKRI65ptpn-rPBFDa9NAI-OCkQvGSN8x1Lk1MYArjryOFXN1Ax8yHTnj_d3X64dU0uOigJ9d1kX-ElsOfR5s/s1600/Egypt+Tahrir+Square+November+2011+Clash+Army+Friday+Of+One+Demand+015.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="392" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_IX2Ln1-S-mVnyEmjBuvdBgK9i6hcpNAek9R2T3F5x_11Ce6maYnmEUJNKRI65ptpn-rPBFDa9NAI-OCkQvGSN8x1Lk1MYArjryOFXN1Ax8yHTnj_d3X64dU0uOigJ9d1kX-ElsOfR5s/s640/Egypt+Tahrir+Square+November+2011+Clash+Army+Friday+Of+One+Demand+015.jpg" width="640"></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="font-size: 13px; padding-top: 4px; text-align: center;">A wounded protester is rushed to a field hospital near Tahrir Square during clashes with Egyptian riot police in Cairo, on November 20, 2011.
