Gone with the wind..

What a Mubarak Friday it was 11.02.2011

VP Omar Suleiman stepped on to the platform of the Egypt state TV and announced that Hosni Mubarak had resigned from Presidency and had left power to the Army. I think for once he heard the crowed crying out for freedom and the ‘yallah yallah’s meaning, ‘go go’ in English.

I spent the whole weekend sitting at home and watching the news. To be frank I prefer to watch foreign news agencies especially Aljazeera English. The analysts they choose to give speech to are specialist on their fields and give different perspectives to the viewers. Very unfortunate to hear that US can not watch Aljazeera English in their cable TV’s because while Aljazeera was giving the speech of Mubarak’s resignation, I switched the channel directly to CNN international news, but the translator could not translate because of excitement and shock so he could just say that Mubarak resigned and said nothing else, all us viewers kept on hearing Omar Suleiman speaking in Arabic so the TV presenter had to interrupt and start speaking.

It was a total disaster felt very badly for them. Any way it was very nice to see the crowd laughing and wiping their succeeded tears running down their smiling faces. The activists immediately went on live and expressed their feeling to the millions watching the news channels. Wow it is going to be an unforgettable day, the liberation square and Alexandria and many other Arab countries went out on the streets to celebrate Egypt’s victory. But I wish they will be always happy like that, it remembered me the day that when we all were very happy to be accepted to the UN but came out to a long waited disaster.

Well we wont be hearing from Hosni Mubarak, the former President of Egypt any more because he has been gone with the wind, even though he announced that he was to die in his own soil, he was taken from his presidency palace by a helicopter and was gone with the wind and still there are conspiracy theories to where he is to be..
