Conclusion of the Egyptian Revolution

-It was the FIRST revolution in the course of man to start using technology (FaceBook).

-On the last day of the revolution (Day 18) it is said that 20 million people went out to protest...and now they are celebrating...out of Egypt's 80 million - 85 million people.

-The army is currently in control of the Egypt till elections happen.

-When Egypt's second president, Gamal Abd El-Nasser, declared that he would resign due to the catastrophes that happened in th 1967 war, millions of Egyptians got out to the streets and cried and wanted him to stay as president (Historians now talk about how the people were naive, but that's another story). In Mubarak's case, millions (20) went out to tell him to leave.

-Egypt will witness it's first democratic and transparent elections.

-It is said that 183 got killed (and 64 missing) and not 300 something as previously said. 100 are also injured (critical conditions). 5000 other got injured but they are light injuries.

-Many people want to change "Tahrir Square" (En: Liberty Square) to "Shuhada' Square (En: Martyr Square) in honor of the protesters who were killed.

-This is the FIRST time that Egyptian will say the word "Previous President" rather than "Deceased President" (First was put under house arrest by Egypt's second president. Egypt's second president ruled till he had a heart attack. The third ruled till he got assassinated)

-israel proudly claimed that it was the only "democratic" country in the Middle East. Yet it supported Mubarak, and doesn't support democracy in Egypt.

-Analysis say that the Egyptian revolution will shake the current Arab/Middle East world. Calls for protests in Algeria have started, and the government is spreading soldiers in the streets to be ready.

-Long Live Egypt

The former Minister of Interior, who got arrested on charges of him ordering the police to shoot the protesters and to release all the criminals from prison, and the 2 day of disappearance of police and any security...he says that he was ordered by Mubarak to do so. Mubarak fled the country so he can't be judged, but we must get him to charge him of his crimes.

Revolution needs to continue to spread

It will Inshallah. Algeria and Yemen and Jordan seem to be next. They got inspired from Egypt.

They're saying Mubarak is in Sharm Al Sheikh.

And actually Tunisia was the first and to accredit Egypt for much more than its own revolution is a bit much.

Yeah some people say that.

I disagree. Tunis has a revolution (and FYI it's still not complete, the gov is still attacking the protesters if you watch the news) but anyways Egypt is a much bigger country than Tunis. That's why the whole world watched carefully the events in Egypt. It will cause a chain reaction. Tunis's was more domestic. Nonetheless, I respect the Tunisian people.

Oh yeah and btw, I hope you are not naive to the point to believe that the Egyptians protested because the Tunisians did. Egyptians have been protesting for years if you have been paying attention to the news. But what the Tunisian revolution did was inspire them to protest again. If you don't know Egypt's value, then learn it. Did you know that in the Medina Masjid today in Saudi Arabia they made prayer for Egypt (before Mubarak resigned), not Tunis? Did you know that the Saudi Arabia and gulf threatened the US to stop attacking Mubarak? And I find it highly disrespectful to the protesters in Egypt that you say that the credit goes to Tunis...that's BS.

sorry i was bored

??

Anyways,

It turns out that Mubarak has a mansion in France and England. When the Egyptians in France had protested, the guards attacked the protesters .

The former prime minister had his wealth frozen, and he can't leave the country till he gets judged. The same happened to many faces of corruption.

Egypt has limitless freedom of speech, more than perhaps the West. On Egyptian TV everyone is exposing EVERYTHING.

The army said that the next president and gov will be civilian rule!! Ever since the 1952 revolution it was under military rule. It also said the current gov will rule for a short while till a new gov is formed.

The minister of artifacts, Zahi Hawas, lied and 18 rare Ancient Egyptian artifacts got stolen from the museum (before he had said none were stolen)

That's why the whole world watched carefully the events in Egypt.

No offense, but not really. The governments, maybe, but when I've brought up the revolution to some people, they either don't give a crap or haven't even heard it's happened. I wouldn't exactly say 'the whole world'...but again, no offense intended.

Ace, I said this many times and I'll say it again, when I refer to nations I am referring to the govs and not the people.

Protests happened in Algeria and Yemen today. They are saying what the Egyptians used to say "El Shaab Yoreed Esqat Anizam" (En: The people want the fall of the regime)

The Minister of Media resigned today and his wealth got frozen and he can't leave the country.

The Palestinians in Gaza are celebrating for the second day straight, about Mubarak's resignation.

Celebrations in London and the USA. I was in the USA one yesterday. Will post pics that I took later.

good job on spelling revolution, noob

Egyptian Nobel prize winner, Ahmed Zuwail, and journalist Hamdy Andeel appeared on Egyptian TV for the first time since the regime banned them from going on Egyptian TV.

It is said that it was actually the gov who removed Mubarak from his presidential status, but they announced it as him resigning so it could seem that he left with dignity.

Title: Conclusion of the Egyptian Revoltuion

Egypt asked many European countries to freeze the bank accounts of many ministers. The only problem is England since we don't have a treat of fighting corruption with them.

Gun fire started in Algeria after protests started today.

Iranians are calling for protests but the gov is warning them.

The Yeminis are still protesting and celebrating for Egypt.

A leader in the Palestinian Liberation Organization resigned today.

2000 Algerians protested today. Many got arrested.

When Mubarak resigned ALL the world papers had it as it's main headline on the first page.

Mubarak is said to be in a coma (maybe from the sadness?)

Algerians called their first day of protests "Youm el 3'adb" like the Egyptians did.

Contrast of different protests:

1. Egypt: started via Facebook. Egyptian youngsters were the heart of it. Army stayed neutral throughout.
2. Tunis: Inspired by a youngster who did suicide. Ended up as a coup when the army ordered him to leave.
3. Algeria: Is led by the older Algeria groups 40-50. Is too early to say anything else.
4. Yemen: Dangerous in that there is a separtist group who wants to break the north from the slug. Also there are many people who support the president and those who refuse him. Can't say much else.

The Egyptian army just announced that the current constitution is not valid and a new constitution will be written (This is what the people wanted).

They also disbanded the Shura and People's parliaments (who most of it's members had won by cheating in the elections)

For the first time in a century, the famous Al-Ahram newspaper (2nd oldest in Egypt) was written completely by hand instead of typing in honor of the revolution.

Call for day of anger on the 15 in Libya
Call for day of anger on the 17 in Bahrain

You see flame? You know where they got the term "day if anger" from and the slogan "elshaab yoreed Esqat anizam"? Egypt.

The army declared yesterday that it will respect all international treaties. Naturally the israeli PM welcomed this since it meant that Egypt will abide by the peace treaty, which israel feared it wouldn't abide by after Mubarak.

Many current ministers' bank accounts got frozen and can't leave the country. Also the former former minister was among them.

Protesters are still in Tahrir Square and don't want to leave for their various reasons.

They also call on a million man march protest on Friday as a celebration.

I condemn this as it stalls the country from progressing. Stop protesting for nothing and start rebuilding the country.

a lot of people took brushes out when they were celebrating to start cleaning the streets up.

Yes indeed forgot to mention that. Many people are cleaning the streets.

Bankers went on strike among many other laborers for wage increases. I am not against their cause but this us not the time to strike, the Egyptian economy is very weak from the protests. People need to have more wisdom.

Thugs moved into newly built houses for people and the poor. I hope the gov gives each thug 20 years in prison.

UPDATE: Man, this is like a tragedy...

The day when Mubarak said that he will transfer his power to the VP, which was the day before the VP declared that he resigned, Mubarak was going to declare that he resigned. It was his son, Gamal Mubarak, who changed the words on the speech to make it into a transfer of power instead. When his older son Alaa Mubarsk heard of this he went into a physical argument with his brother and blamed him for putting their father and Egypt in this situation. Mubarak soon went into a coma from all the sadness. So technically it was his younger son who destroyed Mubarak at the end.

sadness doesnt cause comas.

Well it did. Supposedly it's a sever head injury. But he is 82, so it's possible that sadness did it.
