(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - Fresh protests and strikes erupt in Egypt as demonstrators demand better pay and conditions from the country's new military rulers.
Early on Monday, military police moved in to clear the last remaining democracy protesters. But Tahrir Square was not left to the motorists for long. Wave upon wave of new protesters have been coming through.
They include the police, blamed by many for repressing the earlier protests and maintaining President Mubarak in power. But the police wanted to let everyone know that they're being treated as scapegoats. Then various groups of workers joined the demonstrations, including some employees from the vast government building on the edge of the square and more anti-government demonstrators.
Across Egypt, it's a slightly chaotic situation, with workers staging their own mini-revolutions against their bosses. And there is no sign it's going to calm down any time soon.
