Turning to Egypt now. With the members of the country's cabinet have all quit, we reported yesterday on the angony new protest happening in the north Afican nation. The civilian⁵ government reacted to that by offering step down. The protests in Egypt right now are against the military leaders who are currently running the country's government. Some peopled are worried that the military has too much control. And they want the military to step down. More than 20 people have been killed in the fighting between protesters and security forces. The military took control in Egypt after the uprising earlier this year forced the country's long-time president out of power. Military says it'll handle over control with the civiliant govenment who wants it to be elected. The dead election process takes a while, maybe even a year.
