"Mubarak names deputy as protesters defy curfew," by Edmund Blair and Dina Zayed. January 29, 2011.

There was an uprising in Egypt when President Hosni Mubarak picked Omar Suleiman as vice president, ending the 30-year vacancy of that position. Some protestors disapproved of this decision because of the ensured power in military and security institutions. Other protestors were complaintively furious over the poverty, corruption, unemployment, and lack of democracy under Mubarak's presidency. President Obama urges President Omar to resolve the issue through reformation.
