Egypt

Updated: May 21, 2012

In January, anti-government protests in Egypt started out relatively peacefully, but soon escalated as the world was watched the country cope with chaos and the eventual resignation of former President Mubarak.

Now, the country is in the process of rebuilding the government -- and in the wake of the Arab Spring, many feel that what happens here will be a cue for what will happen in other countries going through the same process. Elections began last winter and now there are thirteen candidates vying for the office of the President.

Watch our complete coverage of the elections and the events that led to the revolution here.
