Tahrir Square is still occupied. The protesters are saying that they will not move until the Army appoints a civilian administration who will oversee the elections.
I'm pretty sure that the CIA and others are probably maneuvering desperately to make this situation out to be in their favor, but the Egyptians are also maneuvering themselves as best they can as well. I hope they have the political will to overhaul the system as much as possible.
A 30-year system does not dismantle very easily and I would hate for them to lose hope and go back to the way things were. Even if the change is small and slow, it is worth it and they shouldn't give up. But on the other hand, there's also a good chance that it might not really turn out that pretty as people expected. Could be even worse than before.
