The protest does not stop

Egyptian Prime Minister Ahmed Shafiq has resigned. And the former Minister of Transport, Essam Sharaf, received the mandate to form a new government. Since last Monday, and young activists had regained control of the square Tahrir, camping with tents. At the news many have begun to celebrate, "it is our achievement. But not enough "- said Khaled Talim" coalition of revolutionaries "- The event will be on Friday." In the meeting of the movements with the army, the coalition had made other demands: release of political prisoners and counts of those responsible for the deaths in the demonstrations and exchange of the top national newspapers. Shafiq falls with the last government appointed by Mubarak. It becomes increasingly difficult the position of the former ministers accused of corruption. First of all, Habib El Adly. It 'set for Saturday the hearing of the former Minister of Interior, investigated for the attack on the Coptic Christian church in Alexandria.

But the atmosphere remains tense in Cairo. "The Egyptians do not trust the police - says Labib, journalist Saba El Youm. This is because the interior ministry is weak. " There has been shootings and score-settling in popular neighborhoods such as Dar El Salam, Shubra and Sayed Zeinab. And if the kids are back in school, many parents prefer to keep them at home "is not safe around the city. - Eman says, a mother of four girls. And I have not heard of bus stopped by criminals to frighten children. " The tense atmosphere clears the streets of Cairo after midnight, compared the curfew. It upsets the habits of many Egyptians.

undergoing this political vacuum are especially Christians, a Coptic priest was killed in Assiut and six monks of the Monastery of Saint Bishoy in the desert were injured as the army knocked down a wall, built by the religious. "In this case, is not responsible for the army. The monks were not to build - ensures father Kamal St. Joseph Catholic Church in Cairo. There is a government and people take advantage to abuse building. " All churches in Cairo are guarded by police and army. "In the days of the revolt we have not had any attacks - continued the monk. I do not know whether the allegations meet at El Adly true. Could have done to divert attention from political issues. Of course back in November asked the police to put iron security around the churches. " Resolute is the father Bishoy Coptic Orthodox Church of the Angel Gabriel in the district of Abdin. "I have no definite news on what happened in the desert. Perhaps the military has an Islamist direction. " And on the assassination of Alexandria: "it is possible that the allegations are true the former minister. With the attack would give the impression that the Islamists are a threat to the Copts. " To enter the Cathedral of San Marco district Abbasseya there are checks with metal detectors. "It is not strange that the attacks on Christians happen when the police is to protect places of worship? - Ask Rania and Mary. Within weeks of the uprising nobody has touched the churches even though there was no control. " These girls are serious suspicions against the former interior minister, "are men of corrupt individuals to act in this manner."

If these episodes are part of a strategy of tension is still too early to tell. Protests and strikes continued. Despite the resignation of Shafiq, the protesters will return to the streets tomorrow to celebrate the fall of the government. The road to the elections is still full of pitfalls.
