Cairo’s Tahrir Square erupts in jubilation at Mubarak’s resignation

The end came quickly Friday night for Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak’s 30-year regime. A haggard vice president Omar Suleiman appeared on television to tell the world: Hosni Mubarak has decided to waive the office of the presidency and has instructed the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces to run the affairs of the country and may God guide us in our steps.”

Minutes later, thousands of protesters in Cairo’s Tahrir Square erupted in jubilation. Only minutes later, their countrymen in Doha took to the streets of the Qatari capital to celebrate Mubarak’s departure as well.

As an Egyptian, this is the proudest day of my life. Thirty years of tyranny and taking of Egypt’s resources  and stealing them. It is such a proud day. We are so happy, we are ecstatic and our emotions are flowing,
