Egypt: Hosni Mubarak Appoints Vice-president
In other countries vice-president appointment might not be a news at all. Not in Egypt. Since, Husni Mubarak have not appointed any VP during his 30-year rule. He also appoints the Air Force Chief of Staff (Ahmad Shafiq) as prime minister. In time of crisis, Mubarak plays the old card: turns to military for support. He’s right, success or failure of a revolution depends a lot on support or unsupport of military. But military sometimes has the conscience talking and turn to people. Tunisia is just the most recent example. We wish Egyptian all the best. We wish you succeed in your effort towards the real democracy. I know how you feel. I personally used to experience the same experience like you for 32 years under Suharto’s rule.

Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak has appointed the country’s head of intelligence to the post of vice-president, in a move said to be a reaction to days of anti-government protests in cities across the country.
Omar Soleiman was sworn in on Saturday, the first time Mubarak appointed a vice-president during his 30-year rule. Ahmad Shafiq, a former chief of air staff, was appointed prime minister.
But Al Jazeera’s correspondents in Egypt have said that many of those taking to the streets demand a total change of guard, as opposed to a reshuffling of figures in the ruling National Democratic Party (NDP).
hmm.. harus ditindak tegas itu.. tidak boleh ada pemimpin yg diktator..
It is like a re-run of a sick joke because that’s what despots struggling to keep their heads above the surge of tide do. Anything to appease so that these sick power craze individuals could continue their rotten dictatorships . Blood has been spilled, chaos and anarchy on the verge and the only solution is to kick the person who is responsible out of office. It’s quite a reminiscence of what took place in the Philippians in the eighties when the ‘sick’ despot Marcos had to be virtually told by the US to leave the country. They could do it once again and for once the American foreign policy will seem conducive and just speaking for the well wishes of the people.

Egypt is getting hot more and more
I am beginning to think Obama’s will curry favor with the Muslim world is to simply let it transform into a super caliphate that will subjugate Europe and wipe out Israel.
