Protests erupt over military rule

Tahrir Square, Cairo, Friday 8 April 2011A fresh round of protests has once again erupted in Cairo’s Tahrir Square.

In a report by the BBC, the protesters made their way to the famed square to express their outrage towards Egypt’s ruling generals.

The generals ruled to seize sweeping powers after the military dissolved parliament last week. Those powers include complete control over legislation and military matters until new parliamentary elections are held.

In the meanwhile, the results by Egypt presidential election from last weekend remain unknown. Both candidates Mohammed Mursi and Ahmed Shafiq both claimed to have won.

Opponents of the Muslim Brotherhood have begun a campaign to discredit the claim that Mursi won the election.
