Latest news from Egypt said that President Hosni Mubarak and his family had run themselves into the rich Egyptian resort, Sharm El Shiekh is on the edge of the Mediterranean coast. The incident happened Thursday night after February 10, 2011 President Mubarak delivered a speech which clearly state that he would not resign DARP President of Egypt, although stating also that some of his power had he limpahkan to Vice President Omar Suleiman.
This speech made the Pro-democracy demonstrators whose numbers reach several million people, became disillusioned and angry, which is expected because the demonstrator seek Mubarak's resignation from the presidency, and change the current regime with a democratic government. Since Friday morning surrounded the demonstrators to move a TV station in Cairo, Parliament House, Presidential Palace and the offices of the Egyptian Government. Before the siege, it seems that Mubarak and his family fled their secretly to Sharm El Sheikh, most likely using the presidential helicopter.
Finally, the Board of the Egyptian armed forces took power, and was followed by Mubarak's announcement of resignation by Vice President Omar Suleiman through Egypt TV. This is the result of the Egyptian Revolution that forced Mubarak to step down on Friday night, February 11, 2011, which became a new milestone for Egypt and the Arab World in the Middle East.
By coincidence, the day of victory of the Egyptian Revolution coincided with the anniversary of the Iranian revolution 32 years ago. The Iranian government welcomed the Egyptian Revolution as a "Great Victory" for all the people of the Middle East. The rise President Hosni Mubarak took after the shooting of the President of Egypt before, Anwar Sadat by Egyptian military officers who were angry over the signing of the Peace Treaty with Israel. Next Mubarak supports the continued Western policy in the Middle East, and isolating Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, closed the Palestinian-Egyptian border. He later signed an agreement on the distribution of oil to Isreal who opposed many of the people of the Middle East and against the policy of other Arab countries.
President Barack Obama congratulated the People's victory over Mubarak of Egypt and the collapse of Egypt's authoritarian regime that lasted for 30-years. Obama praised the success of the Egyptian revolution without violence, and hope for the Egyptian Army to make the transition to a Democratic administration in a peaceful and orderly manner, without violence and terrorism. This is "The Power of Human Dignity" that no one can prevent. He praised the example of People Power that brought the era of Democratic Governance, such as the Fall of Berlin Wall, and the Reform of Indonesia in 1998 by the Indonesian Students, as well as non-violent movement of Mahatma Gadhi. Obama promised to give whatever assistance to the progress of the People of Egypt Egypt today. But Obama's promise is to go through the tight filter of the U.S. Parliament, because there are indications to stop military assistance to U.S. $ 1.5 billion per year during the Mubarak regime.
Indonesia People should also congratulate the Egyptian People's victory in the Egyptian Revolution of 2011 as soon as possible, because so long there was not voice from Indonesia.
