Finally after 2 weeks of brutal protests Mubarak steps down as the Egyptian president. Only took several deaths and many more injured. The military is now the heart of the Egypt at least until re-election, which for the first time, will be the citizens choice. Quick changes are to be seen as the military has announced that work on reforming the countries constitution is to be completed in only ten days. Maybe they might achieve what Mubarak couldn't in 30 years?
I suppose it's easy to see both sides. Mubarak didn't step down in fear of the country falling into chaos, but on the other hand, a resolution could have been made much more sooner.
The EU has said it's ready to assist Egypt in the transition to a democratic society, maybe we really will be seeing massive changes. We will keep our fingers crossed for a more successful country, and see what the future may bring.
