Egyptian activists call fresh mass protests Friday, 25 November 2011 10:20

CAIRO: Egyptian activists called for fresh mass protests in Cairo on Friday to demand an immediate end to the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces (SCAF') s rule.

The violence, in which at least 41 protesters have been killed -- 36 of them in Cairo -- and more than 2,000 injured, led to the resignation of caretaker premier Essam Sharaf's cabinet on Tuesday.

The call for new protests in Tahrir Square came despite an apology by the military rulers on Thursday for police killings.

Egyptian newspaper Al-Ahram said on its website that former premier Kamal al-Ganzuri had agreed to lead a national salvation government.

Ganzuri is an economist who served as Egyptian premier under ousted president Hosni Mubarak between 1996 and 1999.   (QNA)
