| Egyptian activists have called for mass demonstrations after an overnight standoff between security forces and protesters in Cairo's Tahrir Square.
Thousands flocked to the square overnight after the cabinet offered its resignation to the military council.
At least 26 people have been killed and hundreds injured in three days of protests against the military rulers.
Amnesty International has criticised the military for failing to keep its promise to improve human rights.
Late on Monday some 20,000 people were estimated to have thronged Tahrir Square after the cabinet of Prime Minister Essam Sharaf announced its offer to resign.
