Okay! First thing! The Egyptian President or whatever you wanna call him has (finally) decided to give up on Egypt. Hosni Mubarak decided that things weren't going to get any better and decided to up and get out. He was an ally with the United Nations (UN) against Iraq. He had been in control of Egypt for almost five terms. Most people thought he had bought votes and commited fraud. One man, Ayman Nour, who contested the fifth election of Mubarak was thrown into jail after a conviction of forgery, sentenced for five years. Mass uprisings against Mubarak started January 5, 2011, and violence soared after Mubarak announced on February 1, 2011 that he was going to resign after September.
