The calm, doubts and hopes are mixed early in the requests for the rais is tried and rumors about his departure from Egypt. The Supreme Council of Egyptian Armed Forces, the former President Hosni Mubarak yesterday gave all his powers, has pledged this morning, in a statement, to "transfer power peacefully, within the framework of a free democratic system, a civil authority.
" This body ensures that it will comply with "all agreements and regional and international treaties." In its statement, the room are disclosed in the past 48 hours, the military urges the current government and the governors of the country to "carry out their duties until the formation of a new government." The note sets the stage, six points, the next steps of the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces "aims at peaceful transfer of power in the context of a free democratic system, an elected civilian authority to govern the country and build free and democratic state, "said the fourth item on the statement read by spokesman.
It reaffirms "commitment to the Arab Republic of Egypt with all agreements and regional and international treaties." The military has also said that the ministers will remain in government pending the appointment of a new Executive. In addition, the Army has called on police to remain true to the motto of "serving the citizen." Back to normal The Liberation Square, the epicenter of the protests, gradually recovered to normal, the military has begun to dismantle the barricades and people are organized to clean the site.
The camp and central stores remain in a symbolic square. There is a sense of mission accomplished among the Egyptians, but do not rule out returning to the protest if the new government is not fulfilling its promises of democracy, as expressed today by young activists of the movement of 25 January.
In Parliament, one of the places where blood has accumulated in recent days, the barricades are gone. The demonstrators with the Army have been ordered to remove them this morning. Traffic throughout the city recovers usual hustle and bustle and the start of the curfew has been delayed until twelve o'clock.
Marc Franco, European Union ambassador in Cairo, has walked this morning from people who still remained in the Liberation Square. It was the first time he did, after 18 days that lasted the revolt: "The Egyptian youth have already achieved the first challenge, make Hosni Mubarak to resign.
Now it's up to form a government and economic reforms, "said the diplomat, who wore a flag on the shirt pocket. The wave of change in the Arab world that began in Tunisia is now extended to Algeria, where the manifestation of this morning, constrained by the massive presence of police and was expected mass has resulted in dozens injured and arrested after clashes with police.
The country has started to move towards a future filled with hope. You can not expect an easy road , but the first step has been a time almost air of pride and elation. The uproar lasted all day yesterday as an unstoppable force capable of destroying a regime. The voices are raised with the conviction, this time, having put one foot in history.
The Egyptians have demonstrated extraordinary 18 days that the union between new and old social networks can break down any wall demonstrations. Freedom has been open to them sweet, huge, almost incomprehensible. They were patient, persistent and peaceful to the last claw of tyranny, and triumphed: Hosni Mubarak, the dictator for 30 years, has resigned and fled to his mansion in Sharm el Sheikh on the Red Sea.
With the culmination of Switzerland froze a few hours later much of his fortune, estimated at several thousand euros demillones. "Mabruk, Mabruk!" congratulated a soldier on the verge of tears to an old man with Galabeya (tunic) and turban hugged him. All around it was red, white and black.
The colors of the flag flying on every corner, peer through windows of cars or decorate their faces. Faintness, nervous breakdowns and strains have taken over from the bullet wounds and stones. Egypt whole singing and dancing. The classics are for any occasion: "Our song is about the people, the poor who have nothing but can do everything and fight for their freedom, because they are strong and have belief and dignity," Samer Maher shouted while dancing with friends upraised arms, snapping his fingers to the beat of a song Said Darwish.
"It's the best day of my life." "That's what I always wanted for my children." I have 27 years and never thought I could choose the next president. In a free election in a democracy .... This is just the FirstStep, tomorrow we will be back in Tahrir. " Everyone has to tell unahistoria tonight at Tahrir Square.
In tanks, the soldiers try to hold back while emerging everywhere spontaneous kiss or cover them with flags. At the entrance of one juice a man insisted on inviting a two-sugarcane juice scant military mustache that drew the different heads. The Army has temporarily assumed power, promising a "peaceful transition" toward "a democratic society." The role of military victory, the Egyptians held was considered important by people who put their hopes in them, but feared for a moment have been too trusting.
During the first few minutes the young soldiers did not dare to join the celebration, but the people pushed hard and were not able to remain calm long time. Without losing control of the situation, keeping the IDs and the searches, the military ended up joining the party. New era in the Middle The fall of Arafat, held by the United States and Europe, it also opens a new era in the Middle East.
While Israel and Saudi Arabia have expressed concern about the change, the Islamists in Gaza, Iran and Lebanon see it as an opportunity. After the revolutions of Tunisia and Egypt, millions of Arab and North Africans have found that they can choose their own destiny. The great historical moments, and yesterday was without a doubt, are summarized in a nutshell.
As the brief statement of Omar Suleiman, the vice president who tried to inherit a regime and was engulfed by the events [see video here]: "In the difficult circumstances facing the country, President Hosni Mubarak has decided to leave his post. It Supreme Council instructed the Armed Forces to direct the affairs of state.
" That was it. Seconds later, as if 80 million Egyptians have been listening to the broadcast message, the country erupted in joy. The defiant tone that Mubarak and Suleiman himself had used the day before, the immense disappointment and anger he had provoked the crowd, have fallen short in an instant.
Probably both knew, when they appeared on television on Thursday night that power was slipping out of hands. Mubarak spoke that night with a personal friend, the Israeli minister Binyamin Ben-Eliezer, and confessed that he had reached the end of his era. "I just hoped to leave with dignity," said Ben-Eliezer.
Neither got it. At the last moment, she could only escape by helicopter from a palace surrounded by protesters. With the culmination usual in these cases: the freezing of his fortune, estimated at several billion euros by Swiss banks. Army pressure has not yet familiar with the development of the final moments.
It seems clear, in any case, military commanders made it known to Mubarak, at some point on Thursday, their resistance was futile. The generals, however, have not wanted to push up the street who had been his hero and remained a friend and a respected leader. That would explain the confused statements of the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces, incomprehensible speech Mubarak, a mixture of pride, sentimentality and constitutional minutiae, and confusion that dominated the day.
"There was a hidden pulse between the Army and the duo Mubarak, Suleiman, told the online edition of Al Ahram General Safwat el-Zayat, former leaders of the Egyptian secret services. Egypt to open up enormous hopes. Also great unknowns. The new leader, Gen. Mohamed Tantaui, addressed the nation last night to say that the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces was studying the situation and next steps, to honor the young "martyrs" of the revolt and to pay tribute to Hosni Mubarak for his "sacrifices in times of peace and war." In Tantaui temporary guardianship was expected in the transition to democracy.
That was what had promised in an earlier statement: the Egyptians lead peacefully to a democratic society. The Army had already promised to lift the state of emergency when people decamp to the Place de la Liberation. His first orders, not officially confirmed, have involved the dismissal of the government and the dissolution of Parliament.
In any other situation, such decisions would be interpreted as the beginning of a dictatorship of the swords. In Egypt have ended a tyrannical, cruel and corrupt to the core. The fact that the general did not mention even Tantaui Suleiman I interpreted as a dry break in the power down. There has been no attempt to simulate a constitutional continuity with the past.
New generation of politicians should remember, in any case, Tantaui is friends with Mubarak and he has been faithful to the end. And that senior generals, Tantaui and other members of the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces have been an essential part of the dictatorship and benefited from corruption.
The army refused to shoot into the crowd at the most critical moments of the revolt and that, apart from increasing its prestige among the population, allowed the fall of the regime would not lead to bloodshed. There are no indications, however, that the generals are ardent Democrats, or who are willing to relinquish their power and privileges.
Presumably, quite the opposite. The evolution of Egypt toward freedom and justice system has only just begun. The greatest power in the Arab world has at least a new generation of politicians. There are elderly or Amr Mohamed ElBaradei Musa, who from the beginning of the revolt was postulated as a possible future Democratic presidents of Egypt, but the 20 or 30 young professionals organized through Facebook and e-mail a revolution inspired in of Tunisia, but much larger volume and consequences.
The leader of that group, Wael Ghoneim, Google marketing executive in the region, married to an American and ideologically liberal, no one is better than both the face and the momentum of a generation that desires freedom Egyptian political, economic, social and religious in a system capable of integrating with equal comfort to the Muslim Brotherhood, professionals and Egypt lay deep, rural and illiterate. 
" This body ensures that it will comply with "all agreements and regional and international treaties."
