2011 is differently a year of change. Finally, Mubarak has come to his senses and resigned. Exactly what happened is not clear but for now it is enough that he is gone. There is an exciting, celebratory air on the streets of Egypt; millions of people have turned out on the streets to celebrate. I wish the people of Egypt my most heartfelt congratulations and I hope that they get the chance to participate in the democratic progress for which they have fought. He was in power for 30 years but deposed in 19 days by the will of the people. This is an amazing event!
Tunisia and Egypt are the living proof that the desire for democracy must come from within a people. It cannot be forced on people from the outside or from the barrel of a gun. The people joined together in a struggle for freedom and won.
Democracy Now and Al Jazeera English are providing live coverage.
May the people of the next country wishing for liberation be successful.
Power to the People,
Fobbsie
