Current Uprisings

The uprising that is most recent and that has struck the world in awe would be that of Egypt.  The Egyptian people overthrew their government and forced their leader to resign.  The revolution was very successful so far; creating a new government that will change all the old ways will be challenging especially because the military is currently in control.  Hosni Mubarak resigned on February 11 and gave up all the power and influence that he had.  Mohammed ElBaradei is the leader of the protestors and he led the riots until the resignation of the President.  Overall the revolution can be considered a success or failure just yet for it is too soon to see how things in the new Egypt will be.
