Some even call it ¿the most unexpected\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003edevelopment in modern Egyptian history¿ (Sharp 2011b: 2). After 18 days of protests\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ein Cairo and other cities all over Egypt, the Egyptian people made their President\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHosni Mubarak resign. He had been ruling the country for almost 30 years and his\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003epeople wanted to get rid of him and his regime. That was their goal and that is what\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ethey achieved.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOf course there were international reactions to the uprisings from all over the\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eworld. ¿Numerous press reports [¿] have recounted feelings of popular empowerment\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eand pride inspired by the exploits of Egypt¿s young protesters¿ (Sharp 2011b: 5).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDuring the revolution, European leaders urged ¿Egypt¿s transition to a new\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003egovernment¿ at the beginning of February (Murdock February 4), while China blocked\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ethe word ¿Egypt¿ from a twitter-like micro blogging website, according to Associated\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePress (quoted by Al Jazeera 2011).Further, when considering recent developments in\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLibya and Syria, other Middle Eastern countries seem to be inspired by the revolutions\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ein both Tunisia and Egypt. After Mubarak had stood down on February 11, the\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ereactions were even stronger ¿ ¿Today, we are all Egyptians¿, stated Norwegian Prime\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMinister Jens Stoltenberg and David Cameron suggested ¿We should teach the\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEgyptian revolution in our schools¿ (ESIS 2011).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHowever, the United States seem to keep a particularly eager eye on the most\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003epopulous country of the Middle East. Souad Mekhennet, New York Times and ZDF\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ecorrespondent, states in an interview with the German medium magazine that\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e¿curiously, the American media reacted much faster than the European¿ when it comes\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eto reporting about the Egyptian revolution (Milz 2011: 20). Moreover, she adds that the\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003elarge US media outlets¿ reporting on the topic is ¿much more continuous and broader¿\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e(ibid.), giving a lot more background information on the region. This special attention\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eis most likely due to the fact that for the United States, Egypt is a highly important\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eactor when it comes to foreign policy in the region.
