It is really high time now, and the United States has formally asked Egypt to bring in a change in Hosni Mubarak’s government. The US government also quoted, the words of the Vice President of Egypt, who said the country is not ready for democracy, is utterly unhelpful. Omar Suleiman also said there is a great risk if the constitution fails after bringing in the change.

Past Tuesday, the country had seen the largest protest and march ever in the history of Egypt, where the people raged against Mubarak’s government. The real outcome of Egypt’s success will be seen when the country will go ahead in revolutionizing their constitution.

What has angered the people the most, is when Mubarak made a statement, saying he would remain the office with his powers until the elections in September this year. Mr. Biden also asks the government to stop arresting and beating up journalists in Egypt who were reporting of the situation.

An assassination attempt has taken place in Egypt to kill Vice President Omar Suleiman, and the attack has rather failed but at the cost of two bodyguards. The assassination attempt was thoroughly organized as his motorcade was passing by, where the attackers preyed on him. Omar Suleiman had taken the seat of VP in Egypt on the 29th of January 2011, and it was quite shocking to him to see the reaction from the country’s rebels.

The United States on the other hand has refused to comment over the attacks and this is something that is just quite worrisome. Egypt has been boiling with unrest and violence since weeks, demanding a radical change in government and leadership.

As per the latest reports, Omar Suleiman was qualified to take the interim leadership once Mubarak made an exit. President Mubarak on the other hand has confirmed he will quit his 30 year old regime over Egypt, but only after the September elections.

Its Friday and as proposed tens and thousands of protesters have gathered at the Tahrir square in Cairo to stage the ‘Day of Departure’ for the President of Egypt, Hosni Mubarak. Weeks have passed by as Egypt burns in violence and clashes, several people have been dead during this period, as the protesters from all around the country want a change in government.

Many important countries from around the world including the US, have asked Egypt and President Mubarak to go ahead in the transition of power. The President on the other hand has said, after looking and witnessing the situation and chaos in the country, he is utterly fed up of being in supreme power.

In the first interview since the unrest in the country, he told the media, the Muslim Brotherhood will surely take his place and run the country in the future. Protesters on the other hand are getting unstable in many parts of the city, and they are organizing to stage protests and even march to the Presidents residence demanding his resignation. According to the UN estimates, more than 300 people have lost their lives in the violence against the government.

The Turkish Prime Minister has asked Hosni Mubarak to comply with the demands of the protesters in the country. Mubarak has been reigning over the nation for almost three decades and now the people of the country are agitating against his rule. Clashes are taking place in the country and there are several people who have been reported to be killed.

Fresh reports from Cairo also state, there were gunshots heard from different parts of the city. The Turkish PM has said, no government in the world can turn away from its people and stay strong, rather it will not survive any longer. He also added, there should be a change without any hesitation, violence will have no outcome.

It is quite noticeable that Turkey is one of the most stabilized and democratically concrete nation in the Middle East, and it does take pride in it. Unrest is spreading consistently through Egypt and there are fears that this will escalate to even a higher level. Since years the Middle East is known for its bloodshed and tears, this has to change if the region wants to altercate the world’s view towards them.

Opposition leader in Egypt, Mohamed ElBaradei has said, President Hosni Mubarak should flee the country before Friday, in a move to avoid bloodshed. The Nobel Laureate told the media, that his fellow leaders have already discussed about the post Mubarak era in Egypt, his defeat is imminent. There can also be a formal dialogue, but it will happen only if Mubarak leaves the nation.

ElBaradei has great expectations for Egypt and especially its future, he said “I hope to see Egypt peaceful and that’s going to require as a first step the departure of President Mubarak. If President Mubarak leaves, then everything will progress correctly”.

Other opposition parties in the country have said, ElBaradei is not able to negotiate with Mubarak and his current government. They said the first thing they would like to see in Egypt, is President Mubarak should step down from his post. Almost a million people are scheduled to take out protests and marches against Mubarak and they will commence it from Cairo’s Tahrir square.

Egypt is now turning into a fireball, as there will be hundreds of thousands of people who will begin a massive protest on Tuesday itself in Cairo. The people are scheduled to gather at the Tahrir Square in Cairo from where the ‘March of a Million’ is about to kick off. As of now the total number of deaths in the protests have reached 125.

More protests are scheduled to be staged in Alexandria, where there will be around a million people who will participate in it, as a protective measure against this, the government has halted the rail services between the two cities. According to media correspondents, they have witnessed the number of protesters in the country has certainly increased since the last few days.

The government on the other hand is trying its best to avoid an future clashes between the people and forces. Internet service have been completely shut down due to the ongoing turmoil, as it was one of the main reasons why people have gathered in the region on such a large scale.

Americans in Egypt will start evacuating the country very soon as the situation in the region is getting bad to worse. Protests against the government is scheduled to begin in this week, and the American people in Egypt are taking preventive measures to avoid any sort of disturbance. The country has said it will even send in chartered flights to help the people move out of the country.

The situation in Egypt has begun to escalate tremendously and this is where the fear of being trapped in the chaos arises. Other countries including Canada and India too have stepped in to evacuate their respective citizens from Egypt.

Australia and Thailand too have decided to pull out its citizens from the north African country, as there are reports of violence increasing by the day. The number of evacuees from Egypt have risen, as they tend to flee the nation before something worse erupts. The US government is consistently providing its citizens in Egypt with important information, and have asked them to limit their movement around the country.

Israel has clearly shown its support to the Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, and has asked the people to calm down and rethink into this matter. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said the situation in its neighbouring country is like an earthquake, and there are concerns growing in terms of the instability.

The PM also believes that Egypt has the capability to overcome this situation, but now they will need to look into the future. Israel has always kept a democratic relationship with the Egypt and Jordan, for these are the only two countries who it has signed treaties with. If Egypt is foreseeing a new regime, then there will be a massive change in its entire system.

Questions are also being raised over the peace between Israel and Egypt which both countries enjoy till date. The protests are asking for a new government and new a leader, but who can be the next worth President who could lead Egypt. Israel is a major country in the Middle East which plays the role of a stabilizer among the Arab Nations.

Reports have come in, which state, Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak’s son Gamal Mubarak and his family have fled to London amidst the country’s massive unrest. The situation in Egypt is tending to get bad to worse, and government is expecting to witness massive demonstrations by the protesters very soon. To be precise the demonstrations have been planned for Friday all over the nation.

The reason Gamal has fled the country, is because he is the next worthy successor to his father. The people are still protesting against the government in the country, and this has been accounted to be the worst civilian unrest Egypt has seen in many years.

Several political and non government bodies are expected to participate during the rallies which will take place from Friday. Even Mohammed ElBaradei, a Nobel Laureate is expected to arrive in the nation to stand against the current government. From what can now be seen, Mubarak has lost the grip over his country and his people, his future is quite uncertain from here on.

Former South African President, Nelson Mandela has been discharged after spending two nights at the hospital. The 92 year old South African legend was suffering from some common issues that old people his age basically suffer. Deputy President Kgalema Motlanthe spoke to the media, and took Mandela’s clan name and said, ‘Madiba is well’.

Mandela had to take a flight from Cape Town to Johannesburg for his regular check up, and it was found that he was not doing quite well. The South African liberator has not been keeping perfect health since sometime now, but it was a during this week that his health became a point of concern.

His friends and his family were present at the Milpark hospital where he was admitted and was undergoing thorough treatment. The doctors said he was having a respiratory infection, but from now he shall receive home based medication which will make him improve in his health. He has been kept under intense monitoring, but he is doing quite well.
