| Subject: Egypt: Thousands protest in Cairo against military Fri Nov 18, 2011 7:37 pm | |
| Tens of thousands of Egyptians are holding a rally in Cairo to protest against Egypt's military rulers.
Demonstrators from across the political spectrum have gathered in Tahrir Square after the military council proposed controversial constitutional changes.
Many Egyptians fear the military is trying to entrench its power.
Egypt has been ruled by a military council since President Hosni Mubarak was ousted in February. Parliamentary elections are due this month.
The protest, and another in Egypt's second city, Alexandria, are demanding the withdrawal of proposals for constitutional change by the military authorities.
