Having read the news this morning and also last night, it seems amazingly trite that my blog yesterday evening was on anything other than one subject.
Egypt.
After 18 days of protests, Mubarak has resigned. The focus today has rightly not been on the political ramifications, but instead on the achievement, its significance, and the hope and joy on the street. Watching the pictures and reading the stories of those involved, in all that the one moment represented, it was hard not to be moved to tears. The perseverence and resistance of all the Egyptian people involved was simply that strong.
This is a fitting reminder of what people's resolve and unyielding humanity can be.
