Global News That Dominated This Week
Protest, demonstrations and riots were held in Egypt that already lasted close to two weeks to overthrow their leader,President Mubarak. Requests have been made to suggest that the president step down of his position but has been rejected. President Mubarak promised political reforms as part of their strategy to diminish the protest but unfortunately to no avail. As a result, representatives from a wide range of Egypt's major opposition groups met on Sunday with Vice President Omar Suleiman to discuss changes for the country towards better democracy. The opposition groups included leading democracy advocate Mohamed Elbaradei who was largely responsible for the nearly two weeks of protest happening. The outlawed Muslim Brotherhood, and a number of smaller liberal groups also attended the meeting. The meeting concluded of the two sides agreeing to set up a comitee of members of judiciary and political figures to study proposed constitutional amendments that deal with opening up rules for who can run president, its terms and limits of a president.
Response
In my opinion, its a good step to take in order to finally bring peace open the community from resorting in more protests. This can also halt all the looting thats been happening on stores and shops during the protests. Hopefully, they will re-elect a new, more eligible president.
