Now what happens? After yesterday’s roller-coaster ride of rumors, reports, and reversals, all of which may have reflected a palace power struggle, Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak has finally left the building. His hand-picked vice president and longtime confidante, intelligence chief Omar Suleiman, appeared on official television today for a mere half-minute to say that Mubarak has stepped down,
When it finally came, the end was swift. After 18 days of mass protest, it took just over 30 seconds for Egypt's vice-president, Omar Suleiman, to announce that President Hosni Mubarak was standing down and handing power to the military. "In the name of Allah the most gracious the most merciful," Suleiman read. "My fellow citizens, in the difficult circumstances our country is experiencing, Presid
The joy cries filled the air – across Egypt the joy cries filled the air. For two weeks we'd chanted: "Come on Egypt, One more push/Freedom will be born tonight." And tonight this has come true. We don't yet know how the next stage will pan out. But we know that we will continue to do everything to protect our revolution and the spirit of our revolution. If it had not been so dangerous it would ha
For the last two weeks I have, like innumerable others, careened from the television news to internet updates and back, longing for the moment that came last night, when the tyrant finally yielded to a brave and spirited people. History has been made; celebrations are in order. But it is not too early to ask: what next? The so-called Higher Military Council inspires no confidence. Does another mil

The situation is evolving so rapidly that I hesitate to put thoughts down. Still, here's my take on what's happening: Although we still don't have details about what powers Mubarak has transferred to Suleiman, it's become pretty evident that Suleiman is in charge. Why then keep Mubarak around? Aside from the loyalty the regime's key men have for Mubarak — Suleiman, Tantawi and Shafiq have 20 years

CAIRO � One revolution ended Friday. Another may soon begin. In a moment that may prove as decisive to the Middle East as the 1967 Arab-Israeli war, 18 days of protest hurtled Egypt once again to the forefront of politics in the Middle East. In the uprising’s ambition, young protesters, savvy with technology and more organized than their rulers, began to rewrite the formula that has underpinned an

A joyous night in Cairo. What bliss to be alive, to be an Egyptian and an Arab. In Tahrir Square they're chanting, "Egypt is free" and "We won!" The removal of Mubarak alone (and getting the bulk of his $40bn loot back for the national treasury), without any other reforms, would itself be experienced in the region and in Egypt as a huge political triumph. It will set new forces into motion. A nati

In spite of rain, exhaustion, and the stubbornness of Hosni Mubarak, droves of protesters remain in Tahrir Square. Professionals—doctors in white coats and lawyers in full suits—have joined the scruffy campers, ahead of a mass rally planned for Friday. Shortly before rumors of Mubarak’s resignation started to spread, I asked five Egyptians about their experiences and plans; Wael Ghonim, the Google
