Some are calling it the “Friday of Solidarity” while others see it as another chance to reinforce the demands of the Egyptian revolution. But whatever the motive, the idea is to bring a million or more back intro Tahrir Square on Friday to demonstrate. While some groups are organizing to demonstrate in support of other Arab uprisings, and particularly the ongoing Libyan revolution, emails are also being relayed to make Friday about the current situation in Egypt. Many remain discontented by the continued presence of ministers from the former regime, and particularly by Prime Minister Ahmed Shafiq, who is seen by many as having belittled Egypt's revolution to the last day. Demonstrators are expected to be calling for his and Foreign Minister Ahmed Abu El-Gheit's resignation, along with the immediate lifting of emergency laws and the release of remaining detainees. While it is not yet clear how big this demonstration will potentially be, more people are now expected to demonstrate after a police officer shot a microbus driver during an argument in Maadi earlier today. While the Interior Minister Mohamed Wagdy said the officer, Salah El-Seginy, was on leave at the time, activists on Twitter and Facebook are using the incident to call for more pressure on the government to dismantle the state security apparatus.
