Salute to the victorious people power uprising in Egypt
We salute the victorious people power uprising in Egypt against the Mubarak dictatorship. It is high time that the last pharaoh is buried in the desert. But the Egyptian people must not repeat the original sin of people power in the Philippines. They must not stop at simply changing the face of the person in power but must continue on to uprooting the system that breeds poverty and unemployment.
The resignation of Murabak is only the first act of the drama that will play out…

Egypt's Exiled Revolutionary
Watching events unfold as protesters attempt to unseat Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak I am reminded of the country's rich revolutionary history and the suppression of the communist movement there.
