The Struggle for Freedom in the Middle East - Jobrny's Rants
Egyptian protesters on Monday called for an indefinite general strike and a "million man march" on Tuesday in Cairo, upping the stakes in their bid to topple President Hosni Mubarak's creaking regime.
"It was decided overnight that there will be a million man march on Tuesday," Eid Mohammed, one of the protesters and organisers, told AFP.
"We have also decided to begin an open-ended general strike," he said.
The strike was first called by workers at a factory in the canal city of Suez late on Sunday.
"We will be joining the Suez workers and begin a general strike until our demands are met," Mohammed Waked, another protest organiser, told AFP.
