Unions boost Egypt protests

  • 12 years ago
Thousands have gathered in Tahrir oSquare to continue their call for President Hosni Mubarak's resignation.

Three independent unions have joined them, meaning that in addition to the anti-Mubarak protests hundreds of workers are on strike in Cairo, Alexandria and Suez demanding better pay.

But Mubarak is still in office - refusing to step down.
