Egypt: The morning after the night before

| Saturday, 2 Feb. 2011 | 13:06 - 16:00 GMT

So President Mubarak has finally resigned. It's over. People in Cairo have been celebrating what opposition figurehead Mohammed El Baradei called "the greatest day of my life." We've spoken to Egyptians who say the same thing. It's quite a statement. For many, it seems, yesterday was more amazing than the day they got married or the moment their child was born. We'll be speaking to Egyptians about how they feel after eighteen extraordinary days of protest. Was yesterday really one of the most significant moments in their lives? What about the Egyptians who never asked for a revolution? Is there a discontent surrounding Hosni Mubarak's resignation that's going under reported in the media?

    Sally from Australia on Facebook - Mubarak was man of peace, and saved Egypt from a lot of trouble. Egypt's future now is uncertain. And why are people still in Tahrir Square?

    Oppresive and Dictatorial world "leaders" such as Robert Mugabe should sit up and take notice of what is happening in Africa! The days of life term dictators are past, he too will be driven out of palace/s and end up accepting handouts like the millions of beggars on the streets of Africa! Rob. Namibia
