The Egyptian Revolution-Konstantine Petrakis

In January 2011, The people of Eqypt broke into mass protests against the strict rule of President Hosni Mubarak. After losing support from the United States Military, Mubarak resigned ending 30 years of autocratic rule. Things didnt get better though. The military took over. People where still protesting complaining that the military was still loyal toMubarak's government. This lead to many protests in April. I feel that the military is being selfish with the power they have and trying to find ways of not sepparating it into branches of a democrating government as I believe they should. They are only upseting the people further. Mr. Mubarak failed in his duties as president and passed on similar traits to the current militarly rule. He killed protestors and was a corrupt leader! The people of Egypt deserve a say by way of Democracy.
