The president of Egypt has finally stepped down. I was just glancing over articles today and read of an amazing event. I can't recall where I read it from or exactly how it happened, so the facts may not be completely correct.
When the president refused to step down, protesters went to the barbed wire fence (which had been erected for protection) of the presidential palace. Sitting behind the fence were tanks. I'd imagine that there was lots of tension in the air and everyone knew this was going to be a historical moment, whether or not a confrontation ensued.
The tanks then proceeded to turn their turrets away from the crowd of Egyptions, and in a show of the solidarity of the people of Egypt, got out of their tanks waving Egyptian flags.
A course of events has since then been set into motion that will decide the fate of Egypt. But whatever happens in the future, I hope people remember the moments like these.
