- Description
The head of the Egyptian army tosses away a puppet that represents 'Mubarak' from his right hand and plays with the puppet on his left hand that represents 'civilian elections'. Context Defence Minister Field Marshal Mohammed Hussein Tantawi heads Egypt's Supreme Council of the Armed Forces, a committee of military chiefs who assumed control of the country earlier in the evening (11 Feb 2011) when Vice-President Omar Suleiman announced Mubarak's resignation as president. Most of those protesting against Mubarak's rule have welcomed the military takeover, after hearing promises that it would guarantee a reform programme that would eventually lead to free and fair elections. Tantawi's Supreme Council insisted that it would not seek to substitute its will for that of the people, but it has not yet laid out a timetable for a return to civilian rule.
