Thousands of protesters returned to downtown Cairo’s Tahrir Square on Friday for what they called a “second revolution,” calling for Egypt’s military rulers to speed up the pace of democratic reforms in a country that is still charting its political future.

Protesters carried banners reading the “Egyptian revolution is not over” and chanted the slogan.

Christians and Muslims took turns praying in Tahrir Square, as they did in the protests that forced the ouster of former President Hosni Mubarak in February. Sectarian clashes have turned deadly since the revolution.

Hope this time round, the military junta there would behave more urbanely, as apposed to what they have done during the last days of Hoshni Mubarak!
