The Dictator Mubarak's Regime in Egypt

The Dictator Mubarak's regime in Egypt finally faces the crisis as thousands of enraged Egyptians aggressively protest for Mubarak's immediate resignation and advocate the fair and clear presidential election in names of democracy. As a response to rising voices of his popular, Mubarak states that he will step down from the presidency and will not run for the office for the next election which will be held in September; however he will remain and fulfill his official term

Mubarak's choice is imprudent; why would he want to hold onto the presidency until September? Is it that Mubarak thinks that he can regain his power within 8 months? It's absurd and very careless and irresponsible of Mubarak if he sincerely cares for the future of Egypt and its people. Thousands of Egypt citizens and pro-democracy world-wide have lost their faith in Mubarak and turned their backs against him. He is now a leader without people; his legitimacy as a leader has fallen to ground zero- it's almost inconceivable that he will restore the faith between him and his people. While this being true, his decision to step down in September, not now, is harmful to Egypt in a short and long term. As long as Mubarak stays in his office, the protest and riots between foes and allies of Mubarak would continue- conveying unstable and terrifying atmosphere throughout Egypt. As a result, the economy of Egypt will suffer inevitably. Foreign investors would cease their actions in Egypt; some oil companies already have stopped digging for oils in Egypt. Also Egypt being a crucial link for oil and gas headed to Europe, Asia and US, the unstableness in Egypt may cause the rice in oil/gas price.

If Mubarak sincerely cares about his people and feels responsible, not that I really think he does because if he did, he wouldn't even have dictated Egypt for almost 30 years, he should step down now, not in September.
