| 13 de julio de 2011, 12:09El Cairo, Jul 13 (Prensa Latina) Frustrated by the slowness of reforms and indulgence with former members of the overthrown Hosni Mubarak government, Egyptian demonstrators defied the military government''s orders to cancel protests. An undetermined but large number of demonstrators have been camped in Tahir Square since last week, and said they would return to the protests that forced Mubarak to resign in early 2011 and give way to Supreme Military Council. Protesters say the military junta is not doing enough to keep its promises of democratization, and that there is no will to punish Mubarak's officials for crimes against humanity and embezzlement of public funds. One spokesman of the junta said Tuesday night that soldiers would refrain from repressing demonstrations, but would allow the obstruction of daily activities or damage to public or private property. The decisive moment of confrontation could be Friday, the Muslims' sacred day, as happened in Tunisia and in Bahrain, where protests put the monarchy on tenterhooks, as well as in Yemen, Libya and Syria. hr/rab/abo/msl |
