英国农作物种植面积:[波士顿大图]埃及：伫候

For 17 days, tens of thousands of anti-government protesters gathered in Tahrir Square calling for the resignation of President Hosni Mubarak, 30 years in power. They had been acting out of passion for their country and dedication for change. They had protested and waited for a response. The response came in an address from Mubarak to the country and his people. Mubarak would not step down. Then almost miraculously, on the eighteenth day of protests, Vice President Omar Suleiman made a very brief statement on state television. Mubarak had stepped down. The crowds erupted "Egypt is free!" "Egypt is free!" -- Paula Nelson (40 photos total)

21Anti-government protesters watch on big screen as Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak makes a televised statement to his nation. Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak announced handing over some of his powers to his vice president, Omar Suleiman, and ordered constitutional amendments. But the move means he retains his title of president and ensures regime control over the reform process, falling short of protester demands. Protesters in Cairo's central Tahrir Square, hoping he would announce his resignation outright, reacted in fury and disbelief. (Emilio Morenatti/Associated Press) #

21反政府示威者聚集在大屏幕前收看穆巴拉克的电视讲话。埃及总统穆巴拉克声称移交部分权利给予副总统奥马尔·苏莱曼，且命令修正宪法。但此举意味着他会保留总统头衔，在演变过程中确保政权在握，这显然与抗议者的要求相违。此时满以为会听到辞职喜讯的抗议者们反映强烈。 (Emilio Morenatti/Associated Press) #
