Egypt's 2011 Revolution

Egypt's 2011 Revolution was a popular uprising against decades of authoritarian rule under President Hosni Mubarak. Protesters, driven by economic hardship, political repression, and demands for greater freedoms, organized mass demonstrations across the country. After weeks of unrest, Mubarak resigned on February 11, 2011, handing power to the military. The movement was part of the broader Arab Spring, aiming to establish democratic governance and social reforms. Although it achieved Mubarak’s removal, Egypt faced ongoing challenges including political instability, military influence, and economic difficulties in the subsequent years.
