Eygpt - Fresh protests erupt in Cairo's Tahrir Square

Published on Nov 20, 2011 by
http://www.euronews.net/ There have been renewed clashes across Egypt over the army's future role in government.

For the second successive day, riot police have fired tear gas and rubber bullets in a bid to control large crowds in Cairo's Tahrir Square. The scenes were reminiscent of the 18-day revolt against Hosni Mubarak in February.

Fighting has also spread to other cities including Alexandria and Suez. Elections are due next week, but many protesters believe the army council is secretly plotting to remain in power.
