In this Crown Conversation, we asked three scholars of Egypt-Youssef El Chazli, junior research fellow at the Crown Center Hannah Elsisi, research fellow at Pembroke College, University of Cambridge and Neil Ketchley, associate professor at the University of Oslo-to reflect on the tenth anniversary of the January 25 Revolution and its impact on Egypt and Egyptians. Amid widespread protests, the Egyptian military removed Morsi in June 2013 General Abdel Fattah el-Sisi assumed power, where he remains today.
The subsequent transition period was contentious and led to the election of Mohamed Morsi, a Muslim Brotherhood associate, as president. On January 25, 2011, Egyptians began a series of mass protests that, eighteen days later, brought down President Hosni Mubarak, who had ruled for almost thirty years.
