Meanwhile thousands of Egyptians remain in Cairo's Tahrir Square demanding an immediate end to military rule in the country, despite the pledge.  The result – some pretty heavy crackdown by the army making Tahir Square look like a war zone.

Its not just Cairo, the protests across Egypt have escalated into bloody brutal clashes between security forces and protesters. In Alexandria, clashes between protesters and security forces resulted in tens of injuries.

The crowd is swelling in Tahir square in the mean time, it seems to be the harder the military cracks down more willing protesters come out to play, happy to get a crack around the head from a police batton, or a rubber bullet in the face.

What will stop it?  Elections in the next two months may help, in the interim the top of the governmental pyramid in Egypt seem desperate to reshuffle things yet again so the same people can retain power, all be it in different positions.
