The president of Egypt Mubarak and his family has been moved out of the capital in 11th Feb. He has resigned the president and military has taken over the power from him. The vice president of Egypt said that the president decided to resign during the tough time of the country. The president gave the supreme committee of military power to take charge of internal affairs. Some witness said that more than two helicopter has taken off from the president palace. Egyptian celebrated this news at anywhere. In Cairo, so many people get together to hug each other to present their happiness.
The military claimed that they will support Mubarak policy about regime that should be in peaceful transition. They also ensured that they will carry out all the promises Mubarak made. They guaranteed that people can vote president according to the just principle after the emergency time. And judicial agency will decide who can win this election. But they asked protestor to come back work and make sure all of them have an ordinary life as usual.
Mubarak addressed that the constitution will give part power to the vice president. He required some parts of constitution on president election must be modified. He said:” I will not leave Egypt but die in Egypt”.
European Union diplomatic representative claimed:” Egyptian’s need and wish must be met; they will give help to them when they needed. UN Secretary Ban Ki-Moon said that president election in Egypt must be carry out in the principle of transparency that includes free, trustful and just election.
It has been 18days since 25th Jan. The president palace and Television station has been surrounded by tanks and protection net in order to prevent protestors to rush in it.
I am hopeful that the protests in Egypt will begin to dwindle down. It is crazy to me that all this was started over a disagreement over the president who was in office for 30 years. We are truly lucky to live in the country that we do!
ReplyDeleteYu Fu great blog post! I think that the best thing for Egypt is for Mubarak to be out of office. They have been protesting for almost a month now. The Egyptian people need for a new government, better rights, and democracy. I was really happy when I heard that Mubarak was leaving the country. The people got what they wanted, but Mubarak leaving office is the easy part. I hope they find the peace and democracy they need.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great moment for Egypt, but this just reminds me of what happened in Iran in 1979. In my opinion its just a lose- lose situation in Egypt if wouldve stayed or not. The question is are we seeing an American Revolution or a French Revolution?
ReplyDeleteIt was definitely a crazy situation. The President's own people hated him so that they were willing to harm him if he did not step down. I do agree it was time for him to a long time ago, but its just hard to believe how a nation can be so invloved in turmoil!!
