The revolutionary events in Egypt may bring about systemic changes towards democracy in the country. Given the scale of the protests, President Hosni Mubarak will very likely leave the office soon, thus opening a critical period to determine the future path: either reforms or the survival of an autocratic state apparatus, coupled with a strong position of the army. The best solution for Egypt and for the international community would be a "roundtable", with broad socio-political representation, involving the ruling forces and the opposition, Islamists included.
