New Dawn in Egypt

The people of Egypt celebrated in freedom after toppling their President Mubarak from Power. The 18 days protest finally came to an end when the Vice Presiden Umar Sulaiman announced in the state TV that President Mubarak has step downed and has discharged the power to run this country to the Military Heads of the Country.


What followed were unbelievable scenes of exhilaration through out the streets of Egypt. The crowd in Tahrir Square which was the nerve centre of this revolution was in jubilation mood as they celebrate the end of 30 years of iron rule.


On the wee hours of Friday hundreds on thousands of people gathered once again in the Tahrir Square, by that time there were rumors from various sources that the President is going to address the public stating that he will step down. On hearing this crowd grew as thousands of people join the rest in Tahrir Square for bidding farewell to their President. The entire square was swept by jubilations as people though they finally had raised the Iron Curtain that ruled over three decades. The President Finally came out and addressed the people that he is going to transfer some powers to his Vice President and he will remain as President until the general elections in September.

What was a jubilation turned into utter dismay after this speech. People of Egypt were enraged after hearing the president won’t step down. Huge roar prevailed in Tharir Square as the crowd chanted “Leave, leave" and "Down with Mubarak".

Many protestors started marching to the Presidential Place which was miles away from the square. There was a sense of uncertainty that what is going to happen next. Pressure on President Mubarak increased as the International Community asked him to quit. But Mubarak seemed too resilient. The protest was escalated as they said million will march to the Presidential Square if he didn’t quit.

Finally the word was out as Vice President said that Mubarak has step downed as President and discharge his powers to the Military heads.

It was history in the making as people was in utter joy as they “Egypt Liberated”. The Internet was buzzing as the world joined the Egypt of their victory. This victory is going to change the context Middle East completely. Egypt is always been one of the most important county in that region, what transpires in Egypt is going to have an effect on the complete region.

The revolution is also going to be one of the key events which will completely change the perception of the west over the Muslim world. What now is happening in Egypt is the real Middle East. We see Muslims, Christian and members of other religions and cast unified to over throw the Iron Curtain. This revolution unlike other revolution had no leader it was organized by small group of young tech savvy people through the power of social networking.

This triumph is just a start for Egypt in their transition to Democracy. What will transpire in Egypt will also change the face of the Middle East. It is also going to take place immediately it will take a long time to see a strong established democratic Egypt.
