At his weekly address at Asad Ben Al-Forat mosque in Dokki, presidential candidate Hazem Salah Abu Ismail called all political and party forces to launch a million-man protest this Friday. The protest would call for the transfer of power from the ruling Supreme Council of the Armed Forces to a civilian president and elected parliament. Abu Ismail asked the military council to determine a timetable for the transition for presidential nominations to begin April 5 and for the elections to be May 5.
