Day of Anger
Over 25,200 people went up in protest all around Egypt. This was the spark and the first major revolution across Egypt. People were protesting the abuse of police in front of the Ministry of Interior. Protests got so big that the army and police forces came in with tear gas and rubber bullets to make the people leave. But the youth and the elders stayed put and fought back with the little that they had, rocks. Eventually winning and sending the police forces back. -
Friday of Anger
Began with a mere number of tens of thousands protesting and ended with hundreds of thousands joining in Tahrir Square. Egyptian government cut off all Internet throughout the country stopping protestors from having connections. Also cut phone lines across the country. Protestors still showed up increasing largely in numbers. Police fought against them with water canons, tear gas, and rubber bullets again. Government also issued a curfew time for all citizens in Egypt that was enforced brutally. -
Hosni Mubarak Vows To Stepping Down
Hosni Mubarak vows to step down and will not be re-running in the next election. Announces his stepping down, but says he will still be there as a watchful eye to ensure that the power shift goes swiftly. The people think this is all BS and rise up in riots and angry mobs wanting Mubarak out right away. This was the beginning where the Egyptians saw that they can make a change, and so they will. As one protestor put it, “this may not be the end but it’s the beginning of the final stage." -
Battle of the Camels
Pro Mubarak attackers came in on camels and donkeys, they fired guns, threw Molotov cocktails, tear gas, and more at the anti-mubarak protestors. The protestors were far outnumbered almost a 1:7 ratio, but that did not stop them from standing their ground. This was important because this gave the determination that the protestors needed. They worked harmoniously against large numbered and armed attackers and managed to run them out, winning the soon to be known as Battle of the Camels. -
Mubarak Officialy and Finally Out
On the 11 Mubarak and his family finally moved out of the palace marking the official ending to his corrupt leadership. He handed over the country to the armed forces of Egypt. This is especially important because the Egyptians finally got what they’ve been protesting for throughout many days. It marks the beginning of an end. -
New Constitution
Egyptians were given the opportunity to vote for a new constitution. The army appointed a judicial group of people to address the concerns in the constitution that people wanted to be changed. Many of the yes voters were Muslim Brotherhood supporters and others were in a vote for stability. On the other hand many people, including big activists, voted a no saying they need to change the whole constitution. One step forward for the people to improve their country. -
First Parliament Elections
The country is slowly going towards a democratic road, but the Muslim Brotherhood seems to be controlling it, with 42 seats in the parliament. Important because now many people are questioning and fearing Egypt becoming an Islamist country, things may be moving too quickly in a direction they don't want. -
Period: to
The Presidential Elections
During this time the new presidential elections are announced and in the end are left between voting for two main people, a Muslim brother Mohammad Mursi and Ahmed Shafiq who was previously as Mubarak’s last premier. The people are still taking matters into their own hands, but now it seems to be shifting over. -
Mohammad Mursi Declared New President
Mohammad Mursi is declared winner of the new presidential elections. Many people and activists rise up saying the election was rigged once again, that their voice is not being heard. On the other hand, pro-morsi who are mostly in favor of Islamism are out celebrating on the streets. Egyptians are split up into one part mourning over a thrown election, while others are celebrating over a successful election. -
Mursi's Decree
Mursi issues a decree saying that he has full control and power over the country and its people and the right to change the constitution at any time. Giving full power to himself and the Muslim brotherhood. With this controversy, Egyptian people take it back to the streets with more revolts and protests similar to the ones with Mubarak. -
Sheelo Mursi Min il Kursi (Get Mursi out)
As millions of people join the anti-Mursi protests and revolutions, the Army declares that Mursi has 48 hours to reach an agreement with the anti-Mursi protesters and if he fails then he is to be removed. The people have just voted for a ruler, and now after a year of staying in office they want him out. -
Mursi Ousted
Abdelfattah Il Sisi announces the removal of Mursi. Many go into the streets in celebration seeing once again that the power is in the people and in the masses. Muslim Brotherhood and the Islamists have lost control and people once again believe in the hope for a better Egypt.
