Egypt has a "precious moment of opportunity" to move towards "civilian and democratic rule", Prime Minister David Cameron has said.

His comments followed the resignation of Hosni Mubarak as Egypt's president after 18 days of protests.

Mr Cameron said the UK was a friend of Egypt and stood ready to "help in any way that we can".

Hello,
suppose even after this empire England still has a bit of interest in the Suez canal .. maybe even the US ..

But apart from empty gestures of british, german or whatever prick politicians, i like very much they managed to make a dictator go, even if it's not in our direct interest "west" and NATO-wise.
Go, Egypt !

Greetings,

So far the dictatorial class is still there, and in full power. The military controls and owns much of the civilian key structures of economy. Their leading officers class will try to not suffer to great losses - due to "change". That is bad for freedom and democracy - but it is bad for fundamentalists as well, so i can live with it.
