Hosni Mubarak Resigns




Yes, on Friday (Saturday) Hosni Mubarak resigned as President of Egypt. He ceded power to the Egyptian Military.
-The Military then met protesters demands by dissolving parliment and suspending the constitution.
-The Military is entrusted with the control of the country until it fosters the transition to a democratic governing body. Apparently (according to 'wikileaks') the Military's top ranking official Field Marshal Mohamed Hussein Tantawi is close friends with Mubarak, sharing similar worldviews and perspectives.


What's Next??

Will the Military avoid prolonging their authority in Egypt?

Will the Military foster democratic reform?

What is the role Western nations in the transition to democracy?

Will the Muslim Brotherhood take over?

Will a radical group 'highjack' the revolution's goals?

Will Egypt see a transition into democracy?

What will happen to Mubarak's fortune?
