Revolutionary forces call for anti-SCAF marches on Friday

Revolutionary forces and political movements have called for marches on Friday to the Defense Ministry to demand that the military council step down and a transitional civil council be formed to rule until the transition period ends.

A statement issued Tuesday by the Alliance of Revolutionary Forces and the Second Revolution of Anger said the marches would start from Nour Mosque in Abbasseya, Fath Mosque in Rameses and Rabaa al-Adawiya Mosque in Nasr City.

The statement added that no banners carrying partisan or religious slogans would be held in the marches.

“The military council overlooks the demands of the people,” said Amr Hamed, spokesperson for the Union of Revolutionary Youths.

Tarek al-Kholy, spokesperson for the April 6 Youth Movement, confirmed participation in the marches. “We want to prevent the remnants of the former regime from running for the presidency,” he said.
