Egypt turbulence: protesters crowding for Tahrir square rally
Clashes broke out again in streets near to the square and the situation is volatile.
And the three days long clashes between security forces and the protesters have left at least 28 dead along with hundreds wounded.
The violence caused a doubt on elections to be held next week.
Whatever the outcome of the vote, the demonstrators are worried that the military greedily intends to stay on to power.
The Supreme Council of the Armed Forces (Scaf) is holding talks with political leaders after one day the military-appointed civilian cabinet offered its resignation.
The Muslim Brotherhood - whose Freedom and Equality party is widely seen as the most formidable contender in the elections - is also taking part in the talks.
And, it has refused to take part in Tuesday’s protest because it wants to go with the election to show its support of the people in the country.
The Head of Scaf, Field Marshal Mohamed Hussein Tantawi, is going to make a statement later, said Egyptian television reports.
