Egyptian Revolution

Hosni Mubarak who was appointed President of Egypt on October 14, 1981, is the longest serving ruler of Egypt since Muhammad Ali Pasha.  He was forced to leave office though, after his people rose against him demanding for him to step down from his position. Mubarak ended up handing over all of his power to the military until Egypt is ready to perform an election, which should take place within six months. This is very interesting, because it is history happening right before our eyes, instead of reading about it in books we are living through it.
