The heart of the demonstrators concerns are the military's hold on the country, and a proposal that would protect the military's budget from civilian input.
In regards to Gen. Said Abas, the New York Times reported:
"He declared that the security forces had not initiated any violence but only defended themselves, and he insisted-despite a sweep of the square Sunday evening by hundreds of solders and police in riot gear-that the security focus had not entered the square."
