June 30 Revolution
Quick Summary
The June 30 Revolution in Egypt in 2013 was a period of significant political upheaval. It began with widespread protests against the presidency of Mohamed Morsi, who was elected following the 2011 revolution that ousted Hosni Mubarak.12
Key factors contributing to the June 30 protests included worsening economic conditions, deteriorating public services, and growing political polarization. Millions of Egyptians took to the streets, calling for Morsi's resignation and, in some cases, for military intervention.1
On July 3, 2013, the Egyptian military, led by General Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, suspended the constitution, removed Morsi from power, and established an interim administration. This event marked a significant shift in Egypt's political landscape, leading to a crackdown on the Muslim Brotherhood and a transition towards military-backed rule under al-Sisi.12
