Egypt Egypt Egypt!

Today we started talking about whats going on in Egypt.  Hosni Mubaric has been the president of Egypt for 30 years.  Eventually the people started to riot and made him resign from office.  There was 18 days of protest starting January 25, 2011.  Mubaric was re-elected  in 1987, 1993, and 1999, but the elections weren't very fair.  Eventually people got annoyed by him and started revolting.  A lot of people didn't want to though because they thought he was a good president. We watched a video on the revolt in Egypt also.  I learned that is all started with one group called the April, 6 group, that grew by the internet.  He used Facebook and Youtube to start the national protest.  It swelled to 80,000 people in one week.  It was supposed to be a peaceful revolt but it didn't really end that way.  The police came and turned it into a awful bloodbath.  It was bad.  Then, on January 25 when the next revolt started they finally got him out of office.  Now he is hiding somewhere in an island in the Mediterranean Sea.
