A Catastrophe in Egypt
One of the most important countries in Africa was in the public eye, Egypt, because of a multiple protest started in some cities of the country. These protests were started by a group of people who were unhappy with the government of Hosni Mubarak. 
They organized a reunion to require the resignation of the president, but unfortunately considering the lack of democracy the government sent the police to control the situation. That confrontation left hundreds of dead people and a lot of more injured. 
Hosni Mubarak was president of Egypt since October 14th of 1981; he governed almost thirty years, until February 11th of 2011; when he resigned as a president for all those protests. In June 2nd of 2012 he was sentenced to life imprisonment. Now I hope the next government will be better than the last one.
