Egyptians are staging more demonstrations against the country's military rulers in Cairo, while more protests are in the pipeline elsewhere, Press TV reports.

Protesters poured into the streets in Cairo on Friday to join those who are camping in the capital's landmark Liberation Square, to renew their calls for the formation of a civilian government.

Major political groups have also called for mass sit-ins in other cities against the continued rule of the Supreme Council of Armed Forces (SCAF).

The junta took control after a popular revolution toppled the four-decade rule of the country's dictator Hosni Mubarak in February.

It, however, has been facing mounting calls to step down as it failed to meet its initial pledge to hold a general election in six months and consequently hand over power.

Anti-SCAF sentiments have especially been on the rise over the past few weeks, prior to the country's parliamentary elections that opened on November 28.

The polls, the first he first since Mubarak's ouster, were welcomed by days of deadly unrest, with protesters calling for the postponement of the polls.

They argued that a free transparent election would not be possible under the supervision of the military council.

On Friday, the protesters once again called for the downfall of SCAF, which they accuse of moving against the path of the country's popular revolution by using repressive methods against civilians and allowing corrupt elements from the Mubarak regime on to Egypt's political stage.

They also commemorated dozens of protesters killed near Liberation Square in the aftermath of the SCAF's use of violence against pro-reform protesters.
