Feb 11, 2011 — Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak resigned and handed control to the military on Friday after 30 years in office.

Feb 17, 2011 — Journalist Charles Sennott recently returned from Tahrir Square, where he was filming a documentary on the revolution for PBS's Frontline. It focuses on the young members of the Muslim Brotherhood who played an important role in Egypt's revolution.
Feb 16, 2011 — The recent events in Egypt are a nightmare for the terrorist group because its leadership has long argued that ousting a figure like Hosni Mubarak could only come about through force. But if Egypt descends into chaos, it could present an opportunity for the organization.
Feb 16, 2011 — New York Times columnist Roger Cohen had a front-row seat to the revolution that has shaken Egypt and the Middle East. Host Melissa Block talks with Cohen about his recent reporting trip to Cairo, and whether Iran might be next.
Feb 15, 2011 — Following the ouster of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, protests have ignited across the Arab world. But while regimes may have reason to be nervous, it's still not certain that more leaders will fall.
