Recounting his experience of involvement in protests, Hassan Elghayesh chronicles the Egyptian revolution from a first-hand perspective.

Mubarak resigns – can the feeling be described? I will try. It is as if for 10 seconds, you totally forget about who you are, what you do or where you are – it's just extreme happiness. Then it all comes back to you slowly. I am Hassan Elghayesh, an Egyptian who was part of a revolution that brought down a dictator.
