Egyptian Revolution of 2011
The Egyptian Revolution of 2011 was a popular uprising where Egyptians protested against long-standing grievances like economic issues, political repression, and lack of freedom. Inspired by the broader Arab Spring, demonstrations in cities like Cairo demanded President Hosni Mubarak’s resignation. After weeks of protests and pressure, Mubarak stepped down in February 2011. The revolution marked a significant shift toward greater political participation and change, though Egypt faced ongoing challenges in establishing stable governance afterward. It symbolized the desire of many Egyptians for democracy, justice, and improved living conditions.
