    Hossam Badrawi the new leader of the NDP has resigned and said that Egypt needs new parties.

    Sky are saying that the statement is expected to be Defense Minister Tantawi tell the people that effectively he's in charge of the coutry now. But last night's statement didn't turn out how everyone expected.

    Yep the guy is a moderate, a doctor and very well respected. He drove Wael Ghonim (Google executive) home personally after he was released from detention.

    Yes this effectively means that Mohamed Tantawi is now running the country. He's the defence minister that went down to Tahrir square the other day.

    Is it true? I just woke up and when I looked at the screen they were debating if he was in the country but I came back in the room and all hell had broken loose.

    It was Sulieman in a 20 second statement. Basically he said Mubarak is gone and the military council is now running the show.

    It was nuts, the translator on AJE barely had time to get in sync, I blinked, and Suleiman was done and Tahrir erupted.

    There's still lots of work to do (and I'm reminded again, how are things going in Tunisia?), but this will be what, the first time Egypt will be a democracy in THOUSANDS of years?

    I really hope this revolution doesn't get hijacked and Suleiman ends up running the country.
