The 2011 [[File:Cball-Egypt.png]] Egyptian revolution, which began on 25 January 2011, consisted of millions of protesters from a range of socio-economic and religious backgrounds with the aim of ending the over 20-year-long reign of [[File:NDP(Egypt).png]] Hosni Mubarak. Violent clashes between security forces and protesters resulted in over 800 people killed and over 6,000 injured. The revolution was over in less than three weeks and on 11 February 2011, former President Mubarak's resignation was publicly declared.

After the revolution against Mubarak and a period of rule by the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces, the Muslim Brotherhood took power in Egypt through a series of popular elections, with Egyptians electing [[File:Morsi.png]] Mohamed Morsi to the presidency in June 2012. However, the Morsi government proved itself to be an authoritarian regime of its own and in some aspects worse than Mubarak's dictatorship due to its sectarianism and Islamist leanings and was met with fierce opposition from the Egyptian people. On 3 July 2013, Morsi was deposed by a coup d'état led by the minister of defense, General [[File:El-Sisi(Alt).png]] Abdel Fattah El-Sisi who has ruled Egypt with an iron first to this day.
