The 2011 revolution in Egypt began with mass protests against Hosni Mubarak’s regime, leading to his resignation. The military took control, promising democratic elections. Protests continued, demanding reforms and accountability. After the dissolution of Mubarak’s political party, the Muslim Brotherhood was the only institution organized enough to compete effectively in elections. The predominance of Islamists in Egypt’s parliament and the election of the Muslim Brotherhood’s Mohamed Morsi as president did not deliver the revolution Egyptians had expected. Morsi was ousted in 2013 and a crackdown on the Muslim Brotherhood took place. Egypt was then ruled by military officer Abdel Fattah al-Sisi.
