Thousands of Egyptians marched on the Defense Ministry in Cairo on February 10, demanding that the country's military leaders hand over power.

The protest came just a day before a strike called by activists to mark the first anniversary of former President Hosni Mubarak's fall.

The Egyptian military has come under increasing criticism for its use of deadly force to disperse growing demonstrations in the country.

The military has said it will hand over power after a president is elected later this year.

But that has not stopped the country's civil disobedience campaign, with young activists calling for more demonstrations on February 11.

The Muslim Brotherhood, the big winner in the recent parliamentary elections, has said it will not participate in the demonstrations.

I am entirely suspicious .. Recall the American Zionist identified as Mossad, whose photograph, backlit by burning barricades, went world wide, who was arrested for inciting violence, then traded for eighty one Egyptians detained in Palestine, American Jew and Israeli spy Ilan Grapel, who tuned up at OWS San Francisco.

While the football violence that caused some 70 dead and 1000 injured, 2 February 2012 was orchestrated by thugs, some of whom were armed with clubs and swords, were bussed in .. while Occupy DC scumbags were paid $60 apiece to disrupt a union sponsored gathering!

The Canada Greenberg op, that busses OWS ppl into New York City, from Bellevue pavilion for the insane, that provided embittered psychiatrist Major Hasan, a Canadian actor blamed for the Fort Hood massacre, and the "Harley Shirt Guy," whose scripted comments re the collapse of the WTC Towers, went world wide on 911, is behind these "stunts!"
