The protests in Cairo, Egypt continue as the movement to strip all power from the ruling military council heightens and today, at least three more protesters have been killed bringing the total dead so far up to 14 over the past few days.
From the report at DAWN:
Egypt’s Health Ministry says at least three more protesters have been killed in clashes with army soldiers in central Cairo, bringing the four-day death toll to at least 14.
A doctor at a field hospital in Cairo’s Tahrir Square puts the toll from Monday’s violence at six. Ahmed Saad says all of them were killed by gunshots.
The discrepancy could not be immediately reconciled. The clashes have been raging since Friday in and around Tahrir, which served as the epicenter of the popular uprising that toppled longtime leader Hosni Mubarak in February.
The heavy handed crackdown on protesters demanding the ruling military council to step down and hand power to a civilian government is unprecedented.
These protests, in my view, show exactly how the Muslim Brotherhood works - they appear to have won the majority of the vote in the latest elections but are trying to force a faster reach for power - don't kid yourselves, these aren't some protesters wishing for democracy in Egypt...these are pawns of the Muslim Brotherhood who are there to remove the military as soon as possible and more importantly, purge the nation of any and all of the secular military influence.
