So President Mubarak has finally resigned. It's over. People in Cairo have been celebrating what opposition figurehead Mohammed El Baradei called "the greatest day of my life." We've spoken to Egyptians who say the same thing. It's quite a statement. For many, it seems, yesterday was more amazing than the day they got married or the moment their child was born. We'll be speaking to Egyptians about how they feel after eighteen extraordinary days of protest. Was yesterday really one of the most significant moments in their lives? What about the Egyptians who never asked for a revolution? Is there a discontent surrounding Hosni Mubarak's resignation that's going under reported in the media?
Abdelilah in Morocco on the blog: Egypt has been good at making movies and dramas that captured the imagination of the Arabs. Many of its stars are well known. Now they have to enact their heroic acts in reality.

Muslim Man in Barbados on the blog: The fact remains that Islam and democracy are strange bedfellows because Muhammad has outlawed fighting/competing for leadership and speaking ill of another Muslim. Campaigning and elections involve all these things. Egypt needs strong Islamic leadership and to be governed by Islamic law.

Al in Nairobi on Facebook - the journey to freedom and democracy in Egypt has just began. Next stop, Egyptians must demand a free and transparent elections that will put in place a government that reflects and respects the wishes of the people. Let's NOT see another Iran out of Egypt!
