<p>Tens of thousands of people have rallied in Cairo&#8217;s Tahrir Square, trying to keep up pressure on Egypt&#8217;s military rulers to carry out reforms and calling for the dismissal of those associated with the regime of ousted president Hosni Mubarak.</p>
<p>The square had been the centre of an 18-day uprising that brought down Mr Mubarak on February 11. The Egyptian military took over from Mr Mubarak, but assigned government affairs to a caretaker Cabinet until elections can be held.</p>
<p>Demonstrators said they were worried the army was not moving quickly enough on reforms, including repealing emergency laws, releasing political prisoners and removing members of Mr Mubarak&#8217;s regime from power.</p>
<p>Thousands chanted that they will not leave until they see Prime Minister Ahmed Shafiq, one of the Mubarak-era politicians, removed from office. </p>
<p>&#8220;We made Mubarak step down and we must make Shafiq also step down,&#8221; said Safwat Hegazy, a protester from the Muslim Brotherhood, Egypt&#8217;s largest and best-organised opposition group.</p>
<p>Demonstrators said they would stage large rallies every Friday until their demands are met.</p>
<p>Protester Wael Hassan, 32, said he felt much still needs to be done to ensure change.</p>
<p>&#8220;Mubarak is still free and moving around. His sons and his wife and the members of his regime are still moving freely, except for a few scapegoats,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>Since Mr Mubarak&#8217;s fall, the military rulers have disbanded both houses of parliament and promised constitutional reforms that will allow wider participation in elections, to be held within six months. </p>
<p>Authorities have also moved against members of Mr Mubarak&#8217;s regime, arresting a number of former ministers and prominent businessmen on corruption allegations.</p>
