EGYPT, - The Beginning January 2011.

Tahrir Square was the focal point of the 2011 Egyptian Revolution against former president Hosni Mubarak. Over 50,000 protesters first occupied the square on 25 January 2011, during which the area's wireless services were reported to be impaired.In the following days Tahrir Square continued to be the primary destination for protests in Cairo.

On 29 January 2011, Egyptian fighter aircraft flew low over the people gathered in the square. On 30 January, the seventh day of the protests, BBC and other correspondents reported that the number of demonstrators had grown to at least 100,000,and on 31 January Al Jazeera correspondents reported that the demonstrations had grown to at least 250,000 people. 

On 1 February 2011, Al Jazeera reported that more than 1 million protesters peacefully gathered in the square and adjacent streets.  However, such media reports that so many people congregated in Cairo’s largest public square are believed to be exaggerated for political purposes and, accordingly to STRATFOR analysis the real number of gathered protester never exceed 300,000 people.

On 11 February 2011 Hosni Mubarak resigned as Egypt’s president.

The announcement comes after 18 days of sustained protests in Cairo and other towns across the country. It was made by Vice-President Omar Suleiman on state television. Suleiman said:

“In the name of God the merciful, the most gracious, due to the events that our country is going through, President Mohamed Hosni Mubarak has decided to step down and ordered the Supreme Military Council to run state affairs.”

Mubarak is the second long-standing dictator in the region to be forced out by his people in less than a month. Tunisian leader Zine el-Abidine Ben Ali fled to Saudi Arabia on January 14 after days of uprising against the state security apparatus.
