THE DAILY TELEGRAPH: A massive demonstration was gathering strength in Cairo with tens of thousands of protesters chanting, "Leave, leave" rapidly filling up Tahrir Square.
The Friday rally is dubbed by organisers as "The Last Chance Million-Man Protest," and promises to be a massive demonstration to force Egypt's ruling military council to yield power.
The build-up comes one day after the military offered an apology for the killing of nearly 40 protesters in clashes on side streets near Tahrir over the last week.
The White House demanded the transfer of power to a civilian government in Egypt must be "just and inclusive" and take place "as soon as possible". "Most importantly, we believe that the full transfer of power to a civilian government must take place in a just and inclusive manner that responds to the legitimate aspirations of the Egyptian people, as soon as possible," White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said in a statement.
The remarks came as a private Egyptian television channels reported that the ruling military council had asked Kamal al-Ganzuri, a former prime minister to form a new cabinet.
Mr Ganzuri headed the government from 1996 to 1999 under ousted president Hosni Mubarak. » | Telegraph’s Foreign Staff | Friday, November 25, 2011
