Egypt - violence: PM Kamal al-Ganzouri blames 'counter-revolution'

Uploaded by on Dec 17, 2011
Egypt's prime minister has described the latest protests in the capital Cairo as a "counter-revolution".

Kamal al-Ganzouri said those taking part in the deadly clashes were "not the youth of the revolution", a reference to the uprising in February that toppled President Mubarak.

His comments came as violence continued for a second day, following the deaths of eight protesters on Friday.
