Egyptians rally to push for faster reforms, democratic transition

epa02754824 An Egyptian shouts slogans and wave national flag during a gathering in Tahrir square to call on the country’s military rulers to speed up the pace of democratic transition, Cairo, Egypt, 27 May 2011. According to media sources, Egyptians are calling on the ruling military council to speed up reform and ensure faster trials of former officials for graft and abuse of power. Protesters have dubbed the Friday rally as the ‘second revolution,’ to pressure the Supreme Council of Armed Forces, which has run the country since the ouster of former president Hosni Mubarak in February, to also put an end for the military trials for civilians.
