While the sons of Mubarak and his wife flee to London, the country is in the hands of demonstrators. After a day of tremendous riots, with police firing on the crowd, the atmosphere begins to lighten with the resignation of the government. But the protests did not subside. Although in some parts of the city and soldiers stop protesters clash and combine, many citizens who peacefully climb on tanks deployed by the army to patrol Tahrir Square in the morning, became a symbol of the "revolution of January 25." Symbol of the day will remain up the flight of the Mubarak family.
The Egyptian president's son, Jamal, was considered a candidate for the succession to power. Even three days ago the online magazine Akhbar al-Arab Arab, published in the United States, had spoken of his flight to London with his wife and daughter. According to the site, Mubarak Jr. would be left without any protection by the security at a time in Britain, aboard a private jet from the area west of Cairo.
The family had 97 suitcases loaded on board the aircraft. Shortly after the release of this news, sources in the Egyptian government had rushed to deny it. Have left behind a country torn apart, with at least one hundred dead in five days of protests. A budget will grow but the information that comes is incomplete and fragmentary.
Yesterday, the authorities have suspended the services of telephone and internet services resumed this morning only partially mobile. In Cairo, the police tried to prevent the influx of protestors by firing in the main square and then take to the streets with tanks. But the protests against Mubarak have never subsided.
Cairo yesterday by the insurgency has spread throughout the country. The provisional budget is more than a thousand wounded, more than 400 arrested. The opposition politician El Baradei has been placed under house arrest for several hours and the White House has urged the authorities to respect freedom of expression.
Unheard. Just two mobile telephone networks have been restored intermittently. Meanwhile thousands of protesters returned to the streets this morning in downtown Cairo for shouting slogans against President Hosni Mubarak. "Go away, Go away," shouted the crowd in the aftermath of the speech of the Rais who has promised reforms and a new government to appease Protests spread across the country.
The demonstrators gathered in Tahrir Square, the epicenter of what has been dubbed the Revolution of January 25, guarded by hundreds of soldiers and policemen. "Pacifism," they chanted to mark the protest against the Rais in power since 1981 will not be violent. But there were moments of tension, with some police officers who fired, it is unclear whether rubber bullets or live ammunition.
The agents were accompanied by soldiers on the orders of Mubarak patrolling the main roads. Meanwhile, the networks of two mobile operators have started to work in Cairo, after the total blackout yesterday ordered by the Egyptian government, although it remains unable to send sms. In the capital continue to be suspended all Internet services.
At 6 hours the curfew is over Italian Cairo, Suez and Alexandria, Egypt, the scene of the three cities most violent clashes in recent days. There 's been some reports of looting at supermarkets and even the attempt to storm the Egyptian Museum. The day was marked by strong and violent clashes everywhere, only partially appeased by the resignation of government officials.
Resignation, however, that did not yet followed a new government. And the first names already announced they cry out to the "power in the hands of the army." Vice-President, in fact, has been appointed the chief segrenti. While the Minister of Civil Aviation, Ahmed Shafik, was appointed by President Hosni Mubarak to form a new government.
