is a military area but more importantly because they are fed up with this protest that they think is stalling the country. when you ask the military and the military itself held the press conference today, they say that isn't further from the truth, that they allow everyone peaceful protests but in fact what did transpire was that armed gunmen stormed or tried to storm the republican guard headquarters. its soldiers came in under attack. in fact one soldier belonging to the republican guard was killed and it was only at that point that its soldiers acted in self-defense and had to open fire. the question though that i think human rights activists and democracy activists we are speaking to are asking, why did the military use that type of force? why do you have a death toll of nearly 50 people? why did you use live ammunition when you over the course of the last several days knew there was a staged sit-in protest outside the republican guards? i think these are the questions that will be the center of an investigation that's now been launched by the country's interim president. he says he wants to get to the bottom of this and he's formed a fact finding mission to try and find out exactly what happened
