Protest actions continue in Egypt, despite Mubarak's resignation

PanARMENIAN.Net - Egyptian troops scuffled with holdout protesters in Tahrir Square on February 13 as they moved in to dismantle the protest camp after the fall of President Hosni Mubarak, but outbreaks of labor unrest, including a demonstration by police, reflected the challenges of steering Egypt toward stability and democratic rule, according to Associated Press.

There were also protests by workers at a ceramic factory, a textile factory and at least two banks as Egyptians emboldened by the autocrat's fall sought to improve their lot in a country where poverty and other challenges will take years or decades to address, the Jerusalem Post reported.
