#MYOL News: Egypt's President Mubarak Steps Down After 30 Years of Ruling (February 6th-12th)


Power in numbers can NEVER be ignored and again the power of viral video and social media has been an influence in the world’s development. After 30 years of ruling of Egypt, dissenting protests and jailing opponents; Hosni Mubarak has stepped down as the leader of Egypt. "The people of Egypt have spoken, their voices have been heard," Mr Obama said. "Egypt will never be the same again." As a Lane Maker I always say PERSEVERANCE and DIRECTION is EVERYTHING! Especially, in a case where you have a vision and passion for that vision. The people of Egypt knew that they no longer wanted to live in a country that had been ruled by a leader who abused his power for over 30 years and they would not give up protesting and fighting for what they believed in until they got the result they wanted. "The people have brought down the regime," they chanted in reaction to the news of his eventual resignation less than 24 hours later. Opposition leader Mohamed ElBaradei said: "This is the greatest day of my life." "You cannot comprehend the amount of joy and happiness of every Egyptian at the restoration of our humanity and our freedom."The Muslim Brotherhood, Egypt's banned Islamist opposition movement, paid tribute to the army for keeping its promises. "I salute the Egyptian people and the martyrs. This is the day of victory for the Egyptian people. The main goal of the revolution has been achieved," said the Brotherhood's former parliamentary leader, Mohamed el-Katatni.
