Bachelor Thesis from the year 2011 in the subject Communications - Media and Politics, Politic Communications, grade: 2,0, University of Bonn (Anglistik), language: English, abstract: "Lotus Revolution" (Egypt State Information Service1), "18-Day Revolution"
(Armbruster 2011), "Nile Revolution" (Murdock February 8, 2011), "Facebook
Revolution" (Herrera February 12, 2011) - what happened in Egypt at the beginning of
2011 was given many different titles. Some even call it "the most unexpected
development in modern Egyptian history" (Sharp 2011b: 2). After 18 days of protests
in Cairo and other cities all over Egypt, the Egyptian people made their President
Hosni Mubarak resign. He had been ruling the country for almost 30 years and his
people wanted to get rid of him and his regime. That was their goal and that is what
they achieved.
Of course there were international reactions to the uprisings from all over the
world. "Numerous press reports [...] have recounted feelings of popular empowerment
and pride inspired by the exploits of Egypt's young protesters" (Sharp 2011b: 5).
During the revolution, European leaders urged "Egypt's transition to a new
government" at the beginning of February (Murdock February 4), while China blocked
the word "Egypt" from a twitter-like micro blogging website, according to Associated
Press (quoted by Al Jazeera 2011).Further, when considering recent developments in
Libya and Syria, other Middle Eastern countries seem to be inspired by the revolutions
in both Tunisia and Egypt. After Mubarak had stood down on February 11, the
reactions were even stronger - "Today, we are all Egyptians", stated Norwegian Prime
Minister Jens Stoltenberg and David Cameron suggested "We should teach the
Egyptian revolution in our schools" (ESIS 2011).
However, the United States seem to keep a particularly eager eye on the most
populous country of the Middle East. Souad Mekhennet, New York Times and ZDF
correspondent, states in an interview with the German medium
