Since the Egyptian people ( or whoever it was) have ousted Mubarak, have they actually gotten what they want? What is the situation there now? What has changed?
Anybody know?

What I've noticed so far:

More freedom for media and press.

More transparency regarding national income and expenditure.

Sexual harassment of women is decreasing and more tolerance towards Christians.

Egypt has been ruled by the same regime for the last 59 years, so change won't happen overnight.

The real challenge is keeping the 'euphoria' (of the revolution) alive long enough to see the country into real democracy.

A country finding its voice after years is an encouraging sign and an impetus to change, anyway.

One can only hope that the change is 'real' and realistic enough to be long-term.

What has changed is that the pwople have found their voice. Their expectations are greater and some parties have begun dialogue.

Apart from that .. Life is the same..

Wael Ghonim, Let us ask him.

The 30-year-old internet activist created a Facebook page honouring Khaled Said, a young Egyptian blogger beaten to death by police in June. The page also incited Egyptians to demonstrate against Mubarak.

To a large extent,yes there have been chances in the political scene in Egypt.But this question is best answered by our Egyptian brothers ans sisters.
