Egyptian Revolt

In early 2011, protests against Egypt’s heavy-handed government are intensifying.  It's quite possibly that dictator Hosni Mubarak’s regime may topple shortly.

Egypt's revolt follows the overthrow of Tunisia's government weeks earlier.  In Tunisia, President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali was forced to flee to Saudi Arabia amid heavy unrest.

According to unconfirmed reports so far, Mubarak’s wife and son may already have fled to London.
