Wall of fear broken down, Egypt is free now

In Tahrir Square several protesters fainted with the emotion of the moment following two weeks of protest.

"I'm happy, I'm exhausted," said Mohammed Gamal, a 21-year-old Cairo University student, one of a new generation of web-savvy young people who were behind the revolt.

"Now the Egyptians have their freedom.

We broke down the wall of fear.

We changed our people."

In Tunisia, whose own "Jasmine Revolution" spurred on the Egyptian revolt, people danced in the street and blared their horns.

"It's wonderful! Two dictators have fallen in less than a month," said 23-year-old student Nourredine, referring to January's ouster of Tunisian strongman Zine El Abidine Ben Ali.

This is the greatest day of my life.
The country has been liberated
after decades of repression ...
It's wonderful!
Two dictators have fallen in less than a month

Than Shwe, who's next?
