Thousands of Egyptians poured into Cairo’s Tahrir Square on Tuesday calling for a “second revolution” to oust the country’s military rulers after days of bloody clashes between security forces and protesters.
As the people converged on the square, state television announced that Field Marshal Hussein Tantawi, the head of the country’s ruling military council, was preparing to address the nation.
On Monday, the military-appointed government of Prime Minister Essam Sharaf tendered its resignation in an apparent response to the protests. It was not immediately clear whether the offer to step down had been accepted by the all-powerful Supreme Council of the Armed Forces.
