Egypt protesters accuse military

Women protesters call for the head of the military ruling council to go at Tahrir Square in Cairo (? AP)

Women protesters call for the head of the military ruling council to go at Tahrir Square in Cairo (AP)

Several thousand Egyptians have rallied in Cairo's central Tahrir Square to denounce violence against protesters.

They have been especially outraged by images of women protesters dragged by their hair, beaten and kicked by troops.

The rally marked a week after deadly clashes erupted near the landmark between protesters and the military, which took power after president Hosni Mubarak was ousted in a popular uprising in February. Seventeen protesters were killed over the past week.

Last week's violence erupted when military forces guarding the Cabinet building near the square tried to forcibly disperse a three-week-old sit-in demanding that the ruling generals hand over power to a civilian authority.

Both sides threw firebombs during the clashes and several buildings were burned. A research centre set up by Napoleon Bonaparte during France's invasion in the late 18th century was badly damaged.

At least 100 people have been killed in such confrontations and sectarian violence since the military took power.

The latest protest, named Regaining honour and defending the revolution, was backed by more than two dozen groups, among them newly formed political parties born out of the uprising.

An unidentified cleric giving the Friday sermon in Tahrir Square blamed the military for divisions and called on the generals to give up power as the only solution to ending "dictatorship". After the prayers, worshippers began a march to Tahrir Square to join the rally.

Egypt's powerful Muslim Brotherhood stayed away from the demonstration. The Brotherhood is so far the biggest winner in Egypt's parliamentary elections and has distanced itself from the protesters' demand for an immediate handover of power. The military's timetable is to transfer power after a new president is elected by the end of June 2012.

A competing rally of several hundred people gathered in support of the military in another part of Cairo. They believe an end to the demonstrations will restore stability, attract tourists and boost the country's sagging economy.

Hungary tech firm immortalises Steve Jobs in bronze (Reuters)

BUDAPEST (Reuters) ? A Hungarian software company unveiled what it said was the world's first bronze statue of Apple Inc co-founder Steve Jobs on Wednesday, calling him one of the greatest personalities of the modern age.

Jobs died on October 5 of pancreatic cancer at the age of 56.

The bronze work by sculptor Erno Toth stands in the Budapest campus of architectural software maker Graphisoft.

"He was one of the greatest (personalities) in our era, that's what we wanted to express with this sculpture here," Graphisoft Chairman Gabor Bojar told Reuters.

Bojar said Jobs gave cash and computers to Graphisoft, helping it to become a global leader in architecture software from humble roots as a tiny firm in the 1980s in then-communist Hungary.

"In some ways, Apple was a religion," Bojar said at the unveiling ceremony, comparing the experts from Cupertino-based Apple who helped educate Graphisoft's engineers to evangelists.

Steve Jobs represented a technological revolution which can be compared only to the discovery of writing, Bojar said.

"We have felt his spirit every day and now it is embodied," he said. "We hope that we can deserve with our entrepreneurial culture in Hungary what this sculpture expresses as a message."
