Our time is here
The Egyptian president Mubarak has resigned. The demonstrations have been going on for a while now, and developped out of the situation in Tunisia some time ago. I guess it's great he has handed over power ot the military and the people, because the protests were starting their 18th day demanding his resignation when it was announced he was stepping down from power. The celebrations were enormous and everyone was surprised, but the cheering of the masses clearly shows this is what the people wanted.
There's an interesting connection of mind here. We are right now discussing the World War (the first one) in History class and just before that, when the demonstrations in Egypt had barely started, we talked about the Vienna Conference and the French Revolution. Today we talked about the Russian Revolution and it's interesting to see how alike revolutions for democracy and power to the people are. Very interesting.
