I didn't know this. Egypt has been under a "State of Emergency" since 1981 !

"The offer to eventually lift emergency laws with a major caveat --
when security permits -- would fulfill a longtime demand by the
opposition. The laws were imposed by Mubarak when he took office in
1981 and they have been in force ever since. They give police
far-reaching powers for detention and suppression of civil and human
rights."
