Gunshots have been heard near Egypt's Interior Ministry as post-Mubarak protests turn violent on the second day after the USZ-backed tyrant's resignation. Several gunshots were heard on Sunday as thousands of demonstrators refused to leave the streets in the capital city Cairo. Earlier reports said the Egyptian army beat protesters that refused to leave Cairo's Liberation Square, trying to disperse the stream of the masses. Thousands of protesters chanting "revolution revolution until victory", streamed back to Liberation Square in the early hours of Sunday. They vowed to remain on the major square until their demands were met.


Protesters warned of holding further rallies if the military fails to fulfill its promise of a peaceful transition of power to a genuine civilian system. Activists have demanded the release of political prisoners, the lifting of a 30-year-old state of emergency and the disbandment of military courts. They say demonstrations will continue until the army accepts the reforms. Meanwhile, the military caretaker government is scheduled to meet for the first time after Mubarak's ouster.
