After Mubarak's resignation "the world will never be the same"

ROME - The resignation of Hosni Mubarak are a "historic" event that changes the scenery of the Middle East in general and the planetarium. This sense of the feedback output stage of the Egyptian Nasser, ousted from the square after 30 years of unchallenged power, as had happened four weeks ago in Tunisia Zine al-Abidine Ben Ali.

The historical significance of the turning point was emphasized very clearly by the President of the United States Barack Obama now not only Egypt "will never be the same," but also "the whole world." This is why the American people "look deeply moved" to that obtained with non-violence by the people of Egypt, and says "thank you", quoting Martin Luther King, referring to Gandhi and the "soul force" that broke down the wall Berlin.

"The whole day belongs to the Egyptian people - said the head of the White House - and the American people are moved by the scenes of Tahrir Square. The word 'Tahrir' means liberation. It 's a word that, as he said Martin Luther King, in the soul. To always remember the Egyptians about how they have changed their country and the world.

" What happened in Egypt is a lesson for the whole world, which strengthens all those who believe in peace, the Middle East and throughout the world, he said Obama. For this reason the U.S. is ready "to help Egypt in any way and will continue to be a" strong ally ". Aware, however, that the transition is just beginning.

" It is now up to the army to ensure that the handover takes place in a "credible" and "peaceful": "The army has a duty to protect the rights of its citizens." In its statement, the U.S. president has used some of the passages identical to those of the speech that he delivered at Cairo University on June 4, 2009: "In life there are few times when we have the privilege of witnessing of history in the making.

This is one of those moments. This is one of those times. Egypt will never be the same. " The White House, through spokesman Robert Gibbs, has therefore appealed to the soldiers who have taken power to respect the peace agreements with Israel. And this is the main concern of the Israeli government that fears the emergence of fundamentalist forces.

In political circles in Jerusalem there is an atmosphere of apprehension and surrender of silence. Government sources, behind anonymity, they just hope that the transfer of power takes place in the stability and that there are no negative repercussions for the peace accords. For 30 years Mubarak has guaranteed the respect and even today Israel meticulous proof against him, a deep sense of gratitude.

While Israeli leaders are able to hide behind the silence forced the 'Sabbath', the former Israeli ambassador Zvi Mazel in Cairo has expressed what many ministers seem to think: "The United States has now lost most of their influence in the region" . In the Gaza Strip Hamas celebrated "the beginning of the victory of the revolution" by asking the new Egyptian leadership to "arrange for the immediate lifting of the siege of Gaza and the opening of the Egyptian." In the West Bank, hundreds of people celebrated in the streets Mubarak's resignation, while the Palestinian National Authority President Abu Mazen secular moderate, which has lost a longtime ally, merely hoped to "stability and security for Egypt "and especially" continuity in support for the Palestinian cause.

" The Syrian state television has stopped broadcasting to show live images of Al Jazeera from Tahrir Square, Cairo. "With the resignation of Mubarak's regime falls the treacherous Camp David," said the announcer of the TV of the regime in Damascus, for years at loggerheads with the leadership in Cairo and has always been opposed to any peace agreement with Israel unconditionally.

"Great victory" of the Egyptian people spoke Foreign Ministry spokesman in Tehran, Ramin Mehman-pilasters. It looks with hope to new scenarios. Resigning, Mubarak listened to the voice of the Egyptian people, "said the head of European diplomacy Catherine Ashton, and has" paved the way for faster and deeper reforms.

" After praising the choice of the former President is the courage of the thousands and thousands of Egyptians, particularly young people, who demonstrated peacefully, but with great determination and finally "got what they asked," Ashton said: "Now it is important that dialogue is accelerated towards the establishment of a government of broad consensus that respects and give answers to people's aspirations.

" "An orderly transition and irreversible towards free and fair elections is the shared objective of the EU and the Egyptian people," he said hoping that the army "shows that you really want to successfully complete the transition to democracy." The Italian Foreign Minister Franco Frattini spoke of "a significant development of the Egyptian people and their legitimate democratic aspirations." "I hope that through constructive dialogue between the institutions and civil society, the transition will continue in a peaceful, orderly, for a new democratic order and in compliance with international commitments of Egypt, whose role in regional stability Italy considers crucial "he added.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel for the resignation of Mubarak represent a "historic change" and now must hope that future governments to respect the Egyptian "security of Israel" and "observe" the peace treaty. According to the British Prime Minister David Cameron, the disappearance of Mubarak is "only the first step" and "those who govern Egypt now have a duty to reflect the desires of the Egyptian people." French President Nicolas Sarkozy said that "France wishes ardently that the new Egyptian authorities take the necessary steps that will lead to establish democratic institutions through free and transparent elections." UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon has expressed his satisfaction, noting that "the voice of the Egyptian citizens, especially young people, has been heard is their responsibility to determine the future of Egypt" and asked the Egyptian authorities hours the power "to draw a clear path on what will happen now." "It's vital that human rights and civil liberties are fully respected," he added.

As a "historic moment for the Egyptian people" was also the apostolic nuncio to Cairo, Archbishop Michael Fitzgerald. "We hope and pray that this will prove to the country," he said.
