Egypt strike to mark anniversary of Mubarak's departure
12:23, 11 February 2012
LONDON. February 11. KAZINFORM Activists in Egypt are set to mark the anniversary of the overthrow of President Hosni Mubarak with a strike and day of civil disobedience; BBC reported.
The action is intended to put pressure on the ruling Supreme Council of the Armed Forces (Scaf) to hand over power to a civilian authority.
In a statement issued on Friday, Scaf accused what it called "plotters" of trying to undermine the Egyptian state.
It warned they would bring Egypt "chaos and destruction".
Scaf has promised to hand over power after presidential elections in June, but opposition groups have been calling for an immediate transfer of power.
The Muslim Brotherhood, which won the largest number of seats in recent parliamentary elections, has not backed Saturday's protest.
