Tahrir Square protests

The Tahrir Square protests, primarily in Egypt in 2011, were a series of demonstrations where hundreds of thousands demanded political reform, economic justice, and the end of authoritarian rule under President Hosni Mubarak. Sparked by frustrations with corruption, repression, and economic hardship, the protests involved peaceful marches and occupations of key public spaces. They became a significant part of the Arab Spring, leading to Mubarak’s resignation after decades in power. The movement highlighted citizens’ desire for greater freedoms, democracy, and accountability, inspiring similar uprisings across the region.
