Yep, he slinked off to Sharm el Sheik and his resignation message lasted around 30 seconds.... :lol: after 30 years of the most corrupt rule .... and nybor, at least we don't get tortured and thrown into some rotten cell for years on end, and we do have pretty free press, elections, social services, disabiity benefits, unemployment benefits, the Egyptians have never had any of all that, ....etc, .... ob boy, this is such good news for all countries under dictatorships...

It will certainly be interesting to see how things change and how quickly.

I was in Brazil some years back when Ex President Lula got voted in. Of course the country were divided as to if this was a good move but according to what I have read and what my Brazilian friends have told me since he came into power it was a good move.

Yes, tricky now, but boy do I wish them well, the defence minister who is still in charge ain't no sweetheart either, but people power combined with international pressure, well, I just hope it's good news in the long run .... I don't think people will be oppressed any longer to the same extend. That is the trouble with the middle East, the oppression of the people that gives these countries such a bad reputation, but the simple people, like everywhere just don't have a chance for a better normal life fit for the 21st century, until now, what a breakthrough!!!

That is so English!!!... expecting the worst with the finger on the moan button instead of celebrating the incredible news of today. The Egyptian people will not stand for any more oppression now, facebook and twitter did not only help during this young peoples' revolution, but also helps to open people's eyes to how different and unresticted communication can be. I also believe it will make big difference to Islamic attitudes, amongst themselves how they want to be perceived and from outside how these countries are just full of normal if repressed people! It will become more liberal, Saad himself tells me how the attitude of his neighbourhood has changed for the better towards him and his family over the last few weeks, everyone there believes in a new positive start, I believe it can happen. Also the international fear about Israel already now I find fascinating, we mustn't forget that the Palestinians who have been trapped and utterly mistreated in the Gaza strip for years, while Israel has been helped along by America as has Mubarak - are also Muslims, and the example the Egyptian people set that things can happen in a peaceful and well organised manner will give a lot of people something to think about. I am really excited about all of it, at last some good news on the news.

:hurray: :hurray: :hurray:

Superb words Gisela.
There is oppression still ongoing in parts of this world and you have highlighted it.
It's great to see the people celebrating out there.
I'll raise a pint tonight for them.

I am English? and for one i dont have my finger on the moan button! There are people there who clearly didnt want the change and those that did. Situations like that can easily end up as a civil war or with a worse leader who can control his forces. That is my point
