Egypt’s ‘strongman’ Mubarak steps down


  1. George Okore, AfricaNews reporter in Nairobi, Kenya
    Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak has finally thrown in the towel, after weeks of violent protest against his leadership. World leaders including United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon had called for a transparent, orderly and peaceful transition in Egypt that includes free and fair elections, adding that it is for the people of that country to determine their future.

    Mubarak had announced on Thursday that he will hand over some powers to Vice President Omar Suleiman but that he will not leave office, as demanded by thousands of protesters over the past several weeks.

    Egypt did its parliamentary elections in November 2010 and since then, the world has been focused on African county. Mubarak’s ruling National Democratic Party (NDP) was accused the opposition of whipping up religious sentiments thus the violence.

    On the other hand, Opposition leaders accused the government of arbitrary arrests are to silence critics of President Hosni Mubarak, who has been in power for over 30 years. The banned Muslim Brotherhood opposition group stage running battles with police in Southern Bani Suef region.

    Eventually , the polls was unfortunately been boycotted by 68 year old head of former head of Vienna based International Atomic Energy Agency Mohamded El Baradeuio, despite high expectations that the Nobel Laurette would unite the opposition.
