| Protesters and Troops in Tahrir Square |
Saturday night, the protesters were meet with force from the military, who were trying to clear the square. Protesters are not backing down, as the Council warn again that they will use force to clear all protesters from Tahrir Square. Although protesters and the pro-democratic Egyptians have received the main thing they have wanted, which was to get rid of Hosni Mubarak, they are now facing other issues. Right now the pro-democratic movement is facing opposition from the Egyptian Military, who stepped in after Mubarak was ousted.
The death toll is not officially known after the Saturday attack on protesters, but most say it stands at 1 or 2 people. Protesters were attacked after they broke the 2 A.M. Curfew, by troops with electric batons, who also fired in the air in attempts to disperse the protesters. After trying to disperse the protesters, the military blocked all entrances to the Square. Some protesters left the square hoping to not cause any more conflict, but others stayed in defiance and anger, even throwing rocks at the troops.

Protesters are starting to accuse the Military of helping Mubarak, as they have still not started to charge him with corruption. These protests are likely to continue throughout the coming days, as once daylight returned to the Square, so did the protesters to the site of burning military vehicles.
