These protests have recorded, in some days, nearly 200 protests, they have ranged in the period from the 12^th till the 14^th of February from 40 to 60 protests per day in all sites, and included different geographical regions across the country to the point that has led the military council on the 14^th of February 2011 to call in his fifth statement for “ending the protests and give the government a fair chance to work”.
