RussiaToday on Nov 20, 2011
Egypt, that inspired protesters all around the globe, is once again seeing brutal clashes. Police used tear gas and rubber bullets against dozens of thousands of demonstrators who returned to Tahrir square in Cairo. Two persons reportedly been killed and around 700 injured during 2 days of clashes. Protests have been raging all across the country with demands for the withdrawal of a constitutional draft that declares the military the guardian of 'constitutional legitimacy'. Critics say it'll mean a return to the same problems under Hosni Mubarak's ousted regime. Pepe Escobar, columnist and correspondent for the Asia Times, believes with the unrest coming ahead of crucial elections, it may lead to another revolution.
