Egypt after Mubara

 

Egypt's Armed Forces Supreme Council will run the country for the next six months, or until elections are held.

The move comes after Hosni Mubarak stepped down as president amid anti-government protests which lasted more than two weeks.

BBC News website readers in Egypt and outside of the capital, Cairo, have been reflecting on how life is returning to normal and what has changed after the political upheaval

There is a huge sense of joy and happiness among the people of Alexandria.

Last Friday I was with the demonstrators who marched to the presidential palace at Ras-El-Tin. I can't explain how happy we all were.

That day it took me a couple of hours to get home because the streets were so crowded with people celebrating.

On Saturday there was another celebratory march to celebrate Mubarak stepping down.

Things are much calmer outside now - most people have gone back to work. Only the schools remain closed until everyone is sure that things are back to normal - they will probably reopen next week. The curfew is later than usual and now starts at midnight.

I'm happy with the army being in control - I think they will keep their promises and things will go the normal way to democracy.
