Really amazing news. The restraint, good humour and judgement the army have shown thoughout this situation can only bode well for their (hopefully temporary) stint at the helm.
It does pose the question though, if the army is so heavily funded by the US, does that mean that Egypt is basically being run (if only more overtly than previously) by America now? I wonder what your average Egyptian thinks about that?
Still, hopefully this next period of transition will be quick and peaceful, If only cos my girlfriend has ten days in Sharm booked in March and i'd been looking forward to the inevitable slide into junk food, porn and binge drinking while she's away.
Anyway, I hope they party like it's 1899 in Cairo tonight. Bring on the mint tea and pastries!!!*
*have you ever tried to get a beer in Cairo? EDIT: it's unpossible.
