EGYPTIAN REVOLUTION CAIRO, Feb 11: Hosni Mubarak, the Egyptian president, has resigned from his post, handing over power to the armed forces. Omar Suleiman, the vice-president, announced in a televised address that the president was "waiving" his office, and had handed over authority to the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces. Suleiman's short statement was received with a roar of approval and by celebratory chanting and flag-waving from a crowd of hundreds of thousands in Cairo's Tahrir Square, as well by pro-democracy campaigners who attended protests across the country on Friday. The top figure in Egypt's new regime is now Mohammed Hussein Tantawi, the country's defence minister. After the announcement, he drove past Mubarak's former palace, where crowds cheered him. He stopped briefly to thank and hail the crowds before driving in. The crowd in Tahrir chanted "We have brought down the regime", while many were seen crying, cheering and embracing one another.
Iran: 'Great victory' Iran, which is celebrating the 32nd anniversary of the overthrow of the Shah regime in 1979, said Egyptians have achieved a "great victory". Qatar stated that the transfer of power to the Supreme Council of Armed Forces is a positive and important step, reported Al Jazeera. It further said that it is looking forwards to means of strengthening relations between the two countries. Israel has also reacted to Mubarak’s stepping down by saying that it hoped that the peace treaty between Egypt and Israel will not be affected. German Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle on Friday hailed the resignation of Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak as "a historic moment." Catherine Ashton, the European Union's foreign policy chief, told Al Jazeera that the 27-nation bloc "respect[ed] the decision that President Mubarak has taken". She said the EU wanted to "pay tribute to the dignity of" Egyptians' behaviour at this time, and that Europe was ready to offer its assistance in this transition period in the fields of elections, building civil society and other areas. Joseph Biden, the US vice-president, said this was "pivotal moment in history", and that the transition in Egypt must be "irreversible ... a negotiated path towards democracy".
Ikhwan al-Muslimin calls for civilian government Meanwhile, the main opposition party Muslim Brotherhood, has called on the military to swiftly hand over power to a civilian-led government. Muslim Brotherhood has also called for the establishment of a constitution that "guarantees freedom and human Rights." Earlier in the day vigilantes opened fire on pro-democracy protesters in Egypt in a move unprecedented over the past couple of days. The shooting in El-Kharga came as protestors took over several government buildings in major cities across Egypt on Friday. The last time that live bullets were used against protesters was on Wednesday, when six protesters were killed and hundreds of others were injured -- some of them critically.
