erupt in chaos. what we can see on the streets now, this is sheer elation, this is defying what so many had been afraid of for so long. you know, it s once again i m looking over some of the tweets that i ve been sent. people saying, the resignation is a step in the right direction, but i pray power doesn t fall into the wrong hands. that from ray. and barassi writes in after tunisia, now egypt, which will be the next arab country? maybe algeria. people are wondering already what is going to happen here. but they re also trying to reflect, if you will, a little bit on the experience of all those egyptians down in the square that are waving flags, that are cheering tonight. says one, i do hope that the victorious egyptians are aware of their responsibility, of peaceful change in their country. i admire their spirit. that prom begita in portland.
international media. it s just the fact that the regime had been, you know, misleading all the egyptians and telling them the wrong messages. you guys are heroes, as well. you are part of the revolution. you should be proud of yourself. well, we just want to say the whole world was watching what was happening on the streets of cairo in part because of us, in part because of other television satellite networks, in part because of you and what millions of egyptians were doing on facebook, on twitter and all sorts of other social network sides. anderson, hala, do you have a final thought you want to share with wael before we let him go. we got a thing crossing the reuters wires saying egypt s supreme military council will suspend both houses of parliament and govern with the head of the supreme court. your reaction to that? amazing. amazing. this is great. that just tells me what i thought of the military. these guys don t want to be in power. these guys want egypt to come
implementation towards democracy? i am not a political expert and i have a question right now i wouldn t answer because i don t have the background to answer but what i care about now is that everyone i trust 80 million egyptians. i really trust 80 million egyptians and i really trust these people in the street now have broken the psychological barrier and good cause of liberating their country will always make sure whomever in power will work on the people s agenda and also believe that the army, that egyptian army and the fact that these guys really want the safety of egypt and they have already issued a report that say that they are respecting our demands, that they want to protect our demands and we want our demands to happen. so definitely the egyptian army is trustworthy right now for me
me at the moment. it is absolutely thronged with people at the moment. tens upon tens of thousands of people celebrating in the area as we ve just been talking about. it s been the scene of pitch battles, people being wounded, desperate situations. now it couldn t be further from that. scenes of joyous rapture. people pouring in from all angles, tens upon tens of thousands of people. hala? nic robertson this is anderson cooper. we have wael ghonim on the phone. i just want to get him because we lost him twice on the phone, wael, your thoughts on this extraordinary moment. i m proud to be egyptian. i just want to say, you know, from the bottom of my heart congratulations to all egyptians and, you know, i want to say welcome back, egypt. to me i ve read about egypt in the history books and, you know, they convinced us for 30 days
army, because, of course, the army is seen as something of an arbiter in egyptian affairs, an apolitical organization, that is that defends egypt rather than the political structure of the state. so, as far as we can tell, the soldiers, at least the ones in front of us, are just watching passively as all this goes on, but obviously there are, as i said, the heroes of the moment. ben, is there any way to determine i know it s already dark there, and you ve already got thousands, tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, of people in the streets, but does it appear that people might be coming out of their homes, perhaps for the first time, to take to the streets and mark this historic day? reporter: many egyptians have been sitting on the fence as thee p these protests have been going
