Egypt - bloody unrest flares again - Cabinet offers to quit after fresh wave of protests

While back then the fall of President Hosni Mubarak and the Egyptian army's temporary take over was widely greeted, some say the latest violence stems from a lack of perceived change from the old regime.

http://www.euronews.net/ After three days of bloody protests in Cairo against military rule, Egypt's cabinet has offered to resign.

The news came as thousands of people poured into the capital's Tahrir Square.

At least 33 people are thought to have been killed in the current clashes with security forces.

Demonstrators have been taking to the streets to demand a faster transfer of power to a civilian government.




It is the largest continuous protest since President Mubarak was toppled in February.
