Protesters Leave Tahrir Square
BBC News reports:
Egyptian security forces are removing the final protesters from Cairo's Tahrir Square after the new military rulers vowed to dissolve parliament and suspend the constitution.
Thousands had already left the square, hailing the army's announcements as a clean break from the old regime.
The military said it would stay in power for six months or until elections could be held.
Egypt's President Hosni Mubarak quit on Friday after 18 days of mass rallies.
For a second morning running, military police had pressed the few dozen remaining protesters in Tahrir Square to leave.
The BBC's Jon Leyne in Cairo says the military cajoled and pressured the demonstrators and there were a few arrests.
He says some people had been questioning why the protesters were still there after having achieved their aims.
Our correspondent also says that the bigger challenge facing the military rulers may be a possible wave of strikes.
The military is urging people to return to work to try to get the country back to normal but it instructed banks to remain closed on Monday following the strike threats. Tuesday is a public holiday.
There are also reports the military may prevent meetings by labour unions or professional organisations, effectively banning the strikes.
Correspondents say some employees have been emboldened by the success of protesters and are now seeking the removal of the bosses they blame for what they consider to be huge earnings gaps in their companies.
One key activist, Wael Ghonim, said there had been an encouraging meeting between the military and youth representatives on Sunday.
"[The military] said they will go after corrupt people no matter what their position current or previous," Mr Ghonim reported.
He added: "We felt a sincere desire to protect the gains of the revolution and an unprecedented respect for the right of young Egyptians to express their opinions."
