-He was re-elected by majority votes on numerous occasions
              Electing a new president?
-It was illegal to run a political party against Mubarak
-Therefore making elections very difficult

-Videos were being posted of people being beated and tortured in Egypt.
-This made people furious

-People were being beating for stupid things such as "no exisance friends on facebook".
- This wasn't a revoloution that was violent, it was peaceful.
-The police are on the side of Mubarak, the Milatary is on the side of the people.
-On January 25th the people started to riot
