Today in class we went over Egypt now and how it is doing compared to the rest of the world.  We learned that 90% of the country's religion is Muslim and the rest is Christian.  We also learned about past people in charge of the country like Hosni Mubarak, who just stepped down from power to leave the country with a governing system called military junta.  The democratic election are in September of this year.  We also learned about Libya's ruler, Muammar Gaddafi.  Because Libya has been uprising against him, Gaddafi has been violently opposing it.  He says that there in no fighting in his country but he bombs his own people because they are revoltin against him.
