Mubarak used as scapegoat by own regime
Former Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak was sentenced to life imprisonment on Saturday morning. The court in Cairo ruled that the ex-dictator is responsible for the deaths of hundreds of demonstrators during the eighteen-day uprising against his regime.
Tension was running high in Cairo in the hours leading up to the verdict. From my balcony in Doqqi the live stream of the court proceedings could be heard from all directions. The whole of Egypt seemed to be glued to either radio or television to witness this historic moment.
The verdict was cleverly worded, as the judge spent the first fifteen minutes praising the "brave" Egyptians' revolt against the "thirty years of darkness" of the old regime, and expressed his hope for a better future" for the country.
