CONGRATULATIONS EGYPT!!

Don't let the door hit you in the ass on your way out Mubarak...actually, yes. Let it.

Resigned!

But now what of Suleiman?

The statement said Mubarak was turning over authority to the Military Council.

But did the VP step down as well?

Egypt's Vice President speech highlights,

POWER has bee handed to the military

Mubarak steps down - statement on TV

Military council running the country

I have to say...seeing the crowd just explode with cheers was pretty damn cool.

Congrats Egyptians...I'm glad (and surprised) the leadership went down peacefully.


I hope the "military council" is legit.

I guess the name of the thread is gonna have to be changed again...

Now, if only the people of the rest of the world will take note and see how THEY hold all the cards, regardless how powerless they feel against corrupt governments...

lol Military has power now...

Prediction on when they get power hungry?
I say give it a week till oppression starts...again
! If it can work in egypt it can work anywhere...U BETCHA

What, you expect people in the west to remove themselves from their tv and computers for more than a day or two? nah

nvm

soldiers are firing in the air in celebration i think.

I am happy for the people of Egypt, they respect their military - and let us hope that their military respects them in return.

It is a great day for the world. Congrats Egypt!

Thought it would be good for posterity to have a screenshot here of this from Al Jazeera:

This will be one interesting year to watch, There will be elections ect,

Lets hope the world pressure helps keep them to there word,

If anything this has shown everyone that change can happen, The people have the power

now its gets dangerous. Military law, with those pro Mubarak generals

The Egyptian people have been living under that for 30 years - in Egypt its called Emergency Law

I believe the Supreme Council earlier today announced the Emergency Law would be lifted

Supreme Council of Armed Forces in charge of the Interm/Transititional Government in Egypt
[SHORT TERM]

Outstanding

This just goes to show that peaceful protest can work...

i bet there are governments all over the world shaking in their boots right now..

Congratulations Egypt...
