Egyptians gain their freedom

After two and a half weeks of protests the Egyptian President has resigned. The Vice President made the announcement just moments ago and passed off his power to the military. Lakehead University political Science Professor Laure Paquette says now its up to the military to keep the progress moving. She says the high council must provide hard dates for constitutional negotiations and other negotiations in the transition towards a democracy. Thousands of protesters are celebrating their victory across Egypt.
