The people of Egypt take to the streets demanding that Mubarak steps down and should not hand over power to his son.

If you are interested in History take a front seat for this is History unfolding right in front of our eyes.

Egypt is not only the most populous Arab Country but also the cultural and intellectual leader of the more than 200 million Arabs.

This is going to have major repercussions. Military takeover?? Democratic elections?? Hard core fundamentalists winning elections??? Relations with Israel?? Will they open that border with Gaza?? Are we going to be seeing the same uprisings in Saudi Arabia?? Somebody check the price of oil!!! It is already up 4%

And this is just with Egypt uprising. If there is even the slightest sniff of the same happening in Saudi Arabia $200 or even $300 a barrel is not too far fetched.

the wave is wide spreading my people. as an investor, i am greatly affected because the investments will suffer to a great deal. a consortium of white cement from Egypt has been delayed because of this affecting one of our major construction works in Rwanda. just but an example.

away with mubarak, gamael n his dynasty crap

Hosni has tried to appease the masses by declaring he wont run again in September this year. But it fell flat on the demonstrators ears. Earlier, he named a VP after 30 years and still the masses are relentless.

The tide is quite high against the man; the police and the entire judiciary are with the masses, the military is sympathetic to the masses.
When push comes to shove the military will nudge him out of the door.

In the meantime Libya's strongman Gaddaffi is getting jittery, the Saudi King has condemed the riots, Jordan's Prince has fired the entire cabinet and elsewhere a Prime Minister has been axed, Bashir is frantically trying to stem off a riot by University students calling for his departure, his military Generals are not all too happy with the seccession.

This is certainly a gloomy picture for the Arab leaders.
