Egyptian Revolution
A recent series of demonstrations, marches, acts of civil disobedience, labor strikes, and violent clashes between protesters and supporters of the regime of Hosni Mubarak. Protests took place in Cairo, Alexandria, and several other cities in Egypt. Mohamed El Baradei became a major figure of the opposition, with all major opposition groups supporting his role as a negotiator. The Revolution was very successful. On February 11th, Vice President Omar Suleiman announced that Mubarak would be stepping down as president and turning power over to the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces.
