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?

    Mubarak was a peace dove in Middle East. When Egypt is controlled by the Military can anyone say its Democracy. Pradeep Kannangara from Sri Lanka

    Jectone emailed - It's good that mubarak stepped down to give room for democracy. It should set an example to other african leaders.

    S'tole from Canada on Facebook - The current paradigm shift in Middle Eastern politics and the final ousting of a once feared despotic proves that democracy does not need to be a foreign import/export, but can grow organically through common consensus of the aggrieved populace

    Dennis in Kenya on Facebook - With many elections this year in Africa, Egyptians have helped Africa send a very strong message to its leaders - that people's voices must be respected

    It鈥檚 not coincidental there are simultaneous movements in such closed countries like Algeria, Syria, Tunisia, Egypt; someone is coordinating it. Think at least, if you are not allowed to say! Ashhad Alam, Malaysia
