17 February Revolution

The 17 February Revolution was a peaceful uprising in 2011 that led to the downfall of President Hosni Mubarak in Egypt. Citizens protested widespread issues like economic hardship, political corruption, and lack of freedoms. Massive demonstrations, especially in Cairo's Tahrir Square, united diverse groups demanding change. After weeks of protests and no response from Mubarak, he resigned, ending his nearly 30-year rule. The revolution marked a significant moment in Egypt’s history, inspiring calls for democracy, but also ushering in challenges as the country navigated political transitions afterward.
