By now you, our socially-conscious ZRC Blog readers, have no doubt heard the news: President Mubarak of Egypt has stepped down from power:

In a brief announcement on Egyptian state television at 6:00 p.m. Cairo time, Vice President Omar Suleiman said that President Hosni Mubarak has relinquished power and asked the Egyptian Armed Forces Council to assume responsibility for leadership of the country.

…

Egyptian opposition leader Mohamed ElBaradei, reacting to the resignation of President Hosni Mubarak, says: “This is the greatest day of my life. The country has been liberated.”

It is, without a doubt, a good day for Egypt. A despot has fled and a caretaker military government is in place, and hopefully there will be no further violence against the cultural heritage of Egyptian Mummies.

However, as with many advances in civil rights, caution is called for. Little is known about how the two men now in charge of Egypt will work toward democracy (indeed, if they actually will do so). Even less is known as to their relationship with the Mummy community; I can’t find anything on that, for some odd reason (a journalistic oversight I’m sure).

For now though I’m sure the entire Zombie Rights Movement will join us in wishing Egypt, and especially its native Mummies, the best of luck as they work toward a brighter future for their country.
