As the army attempts to take control over the transition people in Egypt are skeptical and remain in Tahrir Square. Now that the military has assumed power it is wanting to clear the streets to legitimize its own power, oh the contradictions and a crude attempt to prove itself...nothing to see here, we are in control everything is ok, go back to your homes type of logic. The military seems to be more concerned with appearance than substance and change of any kind.
The people remain!
Protester Ashraf Ahmed said the military could tear down his tent, but that he was not going to leave "because so much still needs to be done. They haven't implemented anything yet.''
"If the army does not fulfil our demands, our uprising and its measures will return stronger."
Field Marshal Mohammed Hussein Tantawi (on the left, sitting with Mubarak and I am assuming an American general or type of officer) is now the highest figurehead in Egypt's government and the military supreme council.
Protests, strikes, and actions across Egypt continue today in the wake of Mubarak stepping down. Feb 13th, live Al Jazeera blog
