On January 25, 2011, a lot of Egyptian people got together to protest against the long rule of Egyptian president, Hosni Mubarak who was president for thirty years (that's a long time to be president) ,and the fact that he didn't want a democracy (that means that he didn't want everybody to vote). This kind of thing has recently been going on in north Africa in countries like Tunisia and Algeria so it is kind of an inspiring thing. This isn't the first time people have protested in Egypt though. In 1919 Egypt started its first modern revolution and got its freedom from Saudi Arabia in 1922. Egypt got independence from Britain in 1952.
