Tens of thousands of Egyptians are gathered in Cairo's Tahrir
Square, dissatisfied with the interim military government's handling of
the presidential election.The outcome of the election was due on Thursday, but the electoral
commission has delayed reporting the winner. The two candidates, Mohamed
Morsi of the Muslim Brotherhood and the former prime minister Ahmed
Shafiq, have both declared victory.
The protesters, including Muslim Brotherhood supporters, are accusing
the military government of manipulating the election results.On Friday,
the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces issued a statement
supporting a peaceful demonstration. But it added that it would use
force to prevent damage.
