Vice-President Suleiman: "In the name of God the merciful, the compassionate, citizens, during these very difficult circumstances Egypt is going through, President Hosni Mubarak has decided to step down from the office of president of the republic and has charged the high council of the armed forces to administer the affairs of the country. May God help everybody."

From what they just said on TV, it sounds like his position no longer exists - that the Speaker becomes the (temporary) President. (Unless he was the Speaker)

someone yesterday was insisting to me that if mubarak falls, egypt will either collapse into chaos or into an even more aggressive, brutal, and now anti-west/anti-israel, dictatorship. hoping neither prediction is true, obv.; but this will be a tense transition.

daniel, read this - http://english.aljazeera.net/indepth/opinion/2011/02/20112101030726228.html

Micro-entrepreneurs, new workers' groups, and massive anti-police brutality organisations obviously do not share the same class position as Sawiris and Badrawi and the rich men in the "Council of the Wise". Nevertheless, there are significant overlaps and affinities between the interests and politics of nationalist development-oriented groups, the newly entrepreneurial military - and the vitally well-organised youth and women's social movements. This confluence of social, historical and economic dynamics will assure that this uprising does not get reduced to a photo opportunity for Suleiman and a few of his cronies.

What happened after you turned Glenn Beck off?

He's always welcome to take over here in Belgium, we need a firm hand after all these failed government forming attempts.

StanM, Friday, 11 February 2011 16:35 (fifteen years ago)

He has commissioned the armed forces council to direct the issues of the state.

Presumably he had little choice in that commissioning.

Still, round 1: protesters. But it's not over yet.
