Last Friday, immediately after the statement of Mubarak’s resignation, the military also promised not to usurp power, transferring it to civilians after the transitional period.
A message about the resignation of Hosnie Mubarak caused a mass glee on the streets of Egyptian cities. On the streets of Cairo, despite the commandant hour, huge traffic jams from buzzing cars decorated with national flags were formed. The center of the celebrations was Tahrir Square - the headquarters of the Egyptian revolutionaries, where most people gathered. The demonstrators chanted: "Goodbye, Mubarak!"
Mubarak's resignation was preceded by more than two weeks of confrontation. During the mass protests and followed riots in Egypt, at least 300 people or more than 5 thousand were injured.
