In what is being dubbed as a “second revolution”, Egyptian activists are planning to stage a huge rally on Friday, targeting the military rulers for being slow on implementing the democratic transition process, even as signs of a rift appear in the protest movement.
Protesters are terming the rally, to be held in Cairo’s iconic Tahrir Square, as “second revolution” and a “Friday of Rage”.
The Supreme Council of Armed Forces, who took over the reins of power from the ousted President Hosni Mubarak and is responsible for reforms, are conducting slow trials of former security figures in the Mubarak regime, the activists claimed.
Good move, if they are allowed to settle-down in power for too long, there would another long spell of dictatorship.
