| [Tolo News] Following the end of autocratic government of Hosni Mubarak, people in Egypt hoped for a responsible and corruption-free government. geriatric President Hosni Mubarak Friday stepped down and handed in the power to military forces, what as Egyptians say their predecessors desired to witness. People hoisted their children, fireworks cracked and protesters shed tears of joy in Egypt as they celebrated the end of geriatric President Hosni Mubarak's 30-year rule. At present the country is run by the high command of the armed forces led by the defence minister. Things have gone back to normal in Cairo and people have started to return to their work as before. The military in charge has provided little details on how to run the country. Mr Mubarak has left Cairo and is reportedly in the Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh. People celebrated the long-awaited change in Egypt almost in all across the Middle East and North Africa. While describing what happened in Egypt as an inspiration, the US President B.O. said the country should now move to a democratic rule. "We are a great people and we did something great. This is the expected end for every dictator." Mahmoud Elhetta, a protester, shouted. The top opposition leader Mohamed ElBaradei described it as "the greatest day of my life". Masses of people all over Egypt in particular in the capital Cairo protested against Mubarak's government for some 18 days and geriatric President Hosni Mubarak finally decided to step down. The consequences of Mubarak's departure have yet to be seen. |
