It has been reported that President Hosni Mubarak of Egypt has finally stepped down after weeks of protests, demonstrations and riots by the people of his own country. The news of his resignation was greeted by outbursts of cheers and tears of joy coming from the Egyptians themselves. Ayman Nour, a rival of Hosni Mubarak for presidency in 2005, described it as the greatest day in Egypt's history. The amount of joy and happiness in the Egyptians were indescribable.
Vice-president Omar Suleiman has stated that Mubarak is turning power over to the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces. The military high command is headed by Defence Minister Mohamed Hussein Tantawi.
According to officials, Hosni Mubarak and his family has left Cairo for Sharm el-Sheikh, where he is known to have residence.
For now, Egypt is under control of the military, and the next step to be taken by the people in control is to get Egypt back under control again, so that things may go back to normal again.
