Egypt: The morning after the night before

| Saturday, 2 Feb. 2011 | 13:06 - 16:00 GMT

So President Mubarak has finally resigned. It's over. People in Cairo have been celebrating what opposition figurehead Mohammed El Baradei called "the greatest day of my life." We've spoken to Egyptians who say the same thing. It's quite a statement. For many, it seems, yesterday was more amazing than the day they got married or the moment their child was born. We'll be speaking to Egyptians about how they feel after eighteen extraordinary days of protest. Was yesterday really one of the most significant moments in their lives? What about the Egyptians who never asked for a revolution? Is there a discontent surrounding Hosni Mubarak's resignation that's going under reported in the media?

    Arpah on Facebook - Ppl should not dream, to have an american freedom style or French Liberte-egalite-fraternite network connections, instantly and cheaply. It needs time, good concept, right man, patient of the citizens, money, international aknowledgement, to just make a good start for living in a freedom and Liberte fashion through democracy.

    Aprill replied to the daily email - Now the harder part begins: the long slog to real democracy. Which, when you get there, is infinitely better but more quarrelsome and messier than an autocracy. Still, sheer ecstasy!

    The Egyptian Revolution will turn out to be a political wild goose chase,if the military Junta refuses to conduct a free,fair,credible and transparent democratic elections within the shortest possible time.Otherwise,it will lend credence to our suspicion that it is a stooge,surrogate and a partner in crime with the horrendous despot,Hosni Mubarak.Time is of the essence.Chief Bobson Gbinije,Warri,Nigeria.
