It appears that Mubarak will step down according to the CIA director Leon Panetta. This could be a decisive moment in Egypt history and the majority of the people will finally get their wishes. However, will his decision stop the turmoil? Granted the decision will be beneficial for the anti-Mubarak protesters, but we must not ignore the pro-Mubarak partisans who will probably loosing long time leader. I fear that the turmoil will take another form. We just have to watch this situation very closely.

The sad thing is Mubarak has not stepped down. Yesterday, the army general announced to the Egyptian protesters that it appears Mubarak will step down because Mubarak was not present at the usual meeting that he leads. But soon enough, Mubarak was televised saying that he will not step down.
ReplyDeleteHe said the he would also designate certain powers to his VP before he steps down in September and I think this will cause much controversy. If Mubarak ends his regime, the turmoil will certainly lessen. He has been oppressing the Egyptian people for over thirty years where they have been under a constant state of emergency.The Egyptian people are preaching for their human dignity,rights,and justice.But the problem is Mubarak cannot let go of his power.
