My friend gatogo we hope you did not post purposely to tell kaiganjo that he made a typo which we have noticed all along and are least bothered about. Why not stick to the real substance of the matter and not trivialities. After all, are you really that perfect???

With such determined protestors, the regime is out of sorts and it's only a matter of time before MV Mubarak sinks like MV Ben Ali.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PujwO_iY5BU - Raw footage of protestors taking over Qasr-Al-Nil bridge which connects Giza to Tahrir Square in downtown Cairo on Jan 28th. If the US and Israel lose the Egyptian ally regime, big issues (revolts which any 'good' government fears) will pop up in Middle East.
So Israel has no choice but to support Mubarak - @Selah. Defense-wise if both Lebanon and Egypt regimes come off due to these revolts, Israel will feel the short squeeze.
The big one will be such a full blown revolt in Saudi. Oil prices will sky rocket very quickly like in the 70's which will easily lead to global economy shocks.

The sad thing here is the KE tea farms depend on Egypt exports and dependable rains both of which are currently uniting for a bad run.

unlikely - the man the gringos call 'the mad dog of africa' (gaddafi) was clever enough to ensure all his citizens get paid a flat oil dividend in their a/c from gova. I stand 2 b coLLected though on if the libya raias r actually paid...

Israel has to back Mubarak.The West must be backing him too.

Let's not forget who his closest challengers are-The Muslim Brotherhood.

word has it that his family is seeking refuge in UK where they have relatives.... and it is known that his regime has heavily been financed by America.... may be that's how the son also got to work to an American bank in UK... but yes, they could be backing him hence the loud silence...

The level of development in Eygpt is just immence but the people are still not satisfied with it. The country is in Africa and 90% of the country is a desert that has worse conditions than our own Maralal and Marsabit. Yet the country hardly faces famine. With over twenty universities in the top 100 universities in africa the litracy levels and education standards are higher than even that of South africa. Kenya managed 4 universities in that list released last week(none at the top 20). With all these the people are not content, they still believe that a president is capable of so much more.In Kenya the little money that we have is being used to pay for someone's lawyer. The Education system is so weak that it changes after every elections. Schools changing names to National Schools with the hope that the School will now perform better. As much as there were rains in October people are starving. Oh!!!forget everything i said "roads are being constructed"......how could i forget?Kenyanns no need to riot Tunisia,Eygpt,Libya,Jordan,Phillipines and Yemen all have bad leaders. They dont have the kind of leaders we have.......poor them.

Dont see the UAE, Saudi Arabia or Libya going that way any time soon.

The common driver of the Tunisian and Egyptian revolts is unemployment. The dictatorship was the easy target.

When jobs are aplenty and the middle class has no problem providing for their families, few people care who holds the highest office in the land - whether a monarch or a democratically elected person. When cash is scarce, it does not matter if the fellow in office was elected by a landslide.

The just concluded US midterm polls and the Madagascar coup are more classic examples.

But seemingly not the Americans who seem to have been supporting the rebel leaders. Same here.

@Amhere, spot on!In Madagascar, Ravalomanana was a democratically elected President but the public still supportted Rajoelina.The Malagasy case makes me think democracy and intense civilian activism is detrimental to the economy.Compare it with the dictatorial but stable regimes in Libya and Egypt.
