2011 Egyptian Revolution

The 2011 Egyptian Revolution was a significant popular uprising against President Hosni Mubarak, sparked by widespread dissatisfaction with government corruption, police brutality, and economic hardship. It began on January 25, 2011, with mass protests in Cairo's Tahrir Square, calling for democratic reforms. The movement was fueled by social media and youth activism, leading to Mubarak's resignation on February 11, after nearly 30 years in power. While the revolution initially inspired hope for democratic change, subsequent political instability and the rise of military rule complicated Egypt's path to a stable democracy.
