Tahrir Square Returns to Renew Vows of National Revolution
Local Editor
Once again, the Tahrir (Liberation) Square in Cairo was filled with Egyptian demonstrators on a Friday to renew their vows of commitment to their precious historical revolution, which succeeded in ousting the long-dictator Hosni Mubarak.
Hundreds of thousands of Egyptians gathered to form one of the largest demonstrations held in the country since the 25 January revolution was launched.
Protesters waved Egyptian flags, and held banners which read "Our Revolution Continues", calling for the implementation of the reforms promised by the Supreme Council for Armed Forces headed by al-Musheer Tintawi, and the government of PM Issam Sharaf.
The renewing Friday protest this time was significant because as time passed, the number of participants increased; all taking part in condemning Tintawi's policies, expressing it is no different than that of their ousted ruler.
Demonstrations also took place in other Egyptian cities like Alexandria and Suez; however the number of demonstrators did not compete to those present in the Tahrir Square.
After observing how the Supreme Council of Armed Forces was barely meeting the demand of the people, the latter feared that the council will most likely fail to punish the ones who were responsible for abuses and killings during the ongoing revolution protests.
On this level, Friday Preacher, Sheikh Mothher Chahine, the cleric who led the Friday prayers in the Tahrir Square, referred that the Suez Court ordered the release of all officers accused of killing 17 protesters and injuring over 300 others. Sheikh Chahine wondered that "if all those officers were innocent then who killed the revolutionists?"
Furthermore, British newspaper The Guardian reported from the Tahrir Square an accountant, Baher Taher, saying that the ruling military council is going too slowly in its reforms.
The Guardian quoted Taher, "What they are doing is not enough for the revolution. The president is gone but the regime is still in place".
Egyptians all over the country are reiterating their demands to restore democratic life to Egypt, "The mother of the Ummah (nation)".
