mubarak

The reign of Mubarak is over in Egypt after the revolt of the nation's people about two months ago, but this resent story makes me wonder how much the country will actually change? Just this week, a simple blogger, Maikel Nabil, was sentenced to 3 years in military prison for his writings about the Egyptian military.

It was certainly not what the Egyptian protesters wanted to hear on their 17th day in Cairo, but President Hosni Mubarak has said that he will hand off some responsibilities to his vice president, but will not be stepping down, and will not be leaving Egypt.

Through all the rioting, protesting, and chaos, President Mubarak looks like he will step aside and transfer control to the military.

Egypt still facing large protests as death toll raises to 300.

The protests continue in Egypt as the protestors biggest enemy, the Police, have returned to their positions. Foreigners are desperately trying to flee the country.
