Saudi Arabia: Cheers for Our Egyptian Brothers!

In their reaction to the news that Hosni Mubarak stepped down, Saudis joyfully congratulated Egyptians on their victory, especially those in Tahrir Square in downtown Cairo, the epicentre of massive protests calling for an end to the Mubarak regime that rocked Egypt for 18 days.

We're Happy! Really Happy!

Noura Alkhudair is proud:

@NouraKhu
فخوره فيك يامصر.. فخوره بشعب مصر الحر #Egypt #jan25
I'm proud of you Egypt.. I'm proud of the free Egyptian People

Jihad Alammar states the situation for both sides:

@jalammar
اليوم تفرح الشعوب العربية كما لم تفرح من قبل، وتغم الحكومات كما لم تغم من قبل. طائفة تمجد الإنترنت والجزيرة, وطائفة تلعنها.
Today the Arabs are happy like never before, and the governments are miserable like never before. Some glorify the Internet and Aljazeera and others curse them.

Majed Alkabeer never felt such joy:

@Majed_K
أقسم بالذي رفع السماء سبعاً أنني لم أسعد بيوم في حياتي كسعادي بهذا اليوم شكرا لكم أيها الأحرار المصريون #Egypt #Jan25
I swear to Allah who made the seven skies this is the happiest day of my life. Thank you free people of Egypt!

Others are declaring this day the day of victory, like Abdullah Abahussain:

@iAbdullah
١١ فبراير ٢٠١١ يوم من ذهب .. الى مزبلة التاريخ يا حسني
11th of February, 2011, is a golden day, to the history's trash Hosni Mubarak

And some of them went out to celebrate as Nejer tweets:

سيارة شاهدتها للتو في أحد شوارع الرياض والعلم المصري يرفرف عليها #Egypt #FreeEgypt #Feb11 http://twitpic.com/3yp5jg
A car with the Egyptian flag just seen in Riyadh's streets

He also adds:

سأزور مصر إن شاء الله بعد انتخاب أول رئيس ديموقراطية في تاريخها بإذن الله وسأقف في وسط ميدان الشهداء وسأقبل أرضه #Egypt #jan25 #feb11
I'll visit Egypt if Allah wills after its first democratic election. I'll kiss the ground of Tahrir Square while standing in the middle of it

Albara'a Alohali expresses his happiness:

@al_bara
والله إن هذا هو أسعد يوم في حياتي..اليوم فقط أيقنت أن إرادة الشعوب أقوى من أن تقف في وجهها كل الأنظمة المستبدة وكل القوى الاستعمارية الطاغية
This is the happiest day of my life, just today I realized that the will of the people is stronger than to stand in the face of all authoritarian regimes and all the tyrannical colonial powers

Bander Alnogaithan says:

@SaudiLawyer
أجمل سمفونية على الاطلاق، سمفونية شباب الثورة وهم يهتفون فرحا بنجاح الثورة
The most beautiful symphony ever is the symphony of Tahrir Square youth shouting with joy on the success of the revolution

Norah Alajaji is asking for a miracle:

@_NYA_
TAKE ME TO TAHRIR SQUARE!! I WANNA DANCE WITH YOU EGYPTIANS!! #Egypt #JAN25

and Wargat Baloot is out of words:

@balooot
احسن اديب وكاتب وشاعر في هذي اللحظة راح يخونه التعبير ..الحدث اكبر من ان تصفه عقولنا #Egypt #Jan25
Even the best authors, writers, or poets are betrayed by expression, this is too big for our heads

What's Next?
From another angle, others are trying to predict the future of the region:

@Mashi9a7
أشعر بأن تحرير المسجد الأقصى اقترب،، اقترب كثيراً ،،، يارب ارزقنا فيه صلاة قبل الممات واجعلنا من جنود تحريره
I feel that the liberation of Al-Aqsa Mosque is close, much closer. Oh Allah grant us a prayer there before death and make us of its liberating soldiers

and finally Muhammad Almutairi asks:

@m_almutairi
مين بعد مصر ؟ #jan25
Who is next?
