Egyptian workers strike continue despite military warning

Egyptian workers are on strikes despite calls from the new military regime for them to return to work. The life in the country is otherwise almost returned to normal. Banks will reopen tomorrow and Schools, colleges will open on Sunday. Protest leaders say Egyptians will demonstrate again if their demands for radical changes are not met.Earlier, higher military council has appointed a retired judge, Tareq al-Bishry, to head a committee, which has been set up to suggest constitutional changes. Al-Bishry was a strong supporter of an independent judiciary during Hosni Mubarak's rule and is respected in legal circles for his independent views.Meanwhile, the Director of Public Security at Egypt’s interior ministry Adly Fayed and Cairo’s security chief Ismail El Shaer have been sacked for their involvement in the decision to open fire on anti-Mubarak protesters during the uprising.
