Atleast that’s what looks from far off. The transition of power to the military means not much in reality. Mubarak, Suleiman and Prime Minister Ahmad Shafiq are all former military men. Analysts believe despite the transition Mubarak would still remain in power.
The transition means that Egypt, which has been under a state of emergency for the past 30 years, will continue to be ruled by the military.
This is while millions of Egyptians have for the past 18 days called for the departure of Mubarak and the establishment of a democratic government.
Egyptians poured into the streets to celebrate the toppling of the 82-year old dictator.
Meanwhile, the main opposition party Muslim Brotherhood, has called on the military to swiftly hand over power to a civilian-led government.
Muslim Brotherhood has also called for the establishment of a constitution that “guarantees freedom and human Rights.”
Earlier in the day vigilantes opened fire on pro-democracy protesters in Egypt in a move unprecedented over the past couple of days.
