Mubarak Resigns

     The people of Egypt have protested for a little over 2 weeks for the resignation of their ex-President Mubarak. I think we should take a while to acknowledge the Egyptian people because overthrowing a government is a very big accomplishment. With the whole movement being broadcasted worldwide, the whole world followed the events of Egypt. Which is also a reason it lasted only over 2 weeks.
     A few days into the protests the Egypt government turned off the internet. This was amazing because this is the first time a whole country just turned off the internet. This stopped some of the information flow of what was happening. This is the first time in history the internet was turned off. This could not happen in America because our internet providers are greedy and the government doesn't have the right to tell every internet provider to stop or turn off their internet.
     Go Egypt! They are awesome. RIP to those who died during the protests.
