2012–2013 Egyptian protests

The 2012–2013 Egyptian protests were a series of significant demonstrations that erupted in Egypt, primarily in response to political changes and perceived attempts by the Muslim Brotherhood, led by President Mohamed Morsi, to consolidate power. These protests drew inspiration from the 2011 Egyptian Revolution and were marked by widespread public discontent concerning issues such as economic hardship, political repression, and social injustice. Notably, the protests mirrored broader regional shifts and narratives that had implications beyond Egypt, including in India, where activists and commentators drew parallels between Egypt's political struggles and their own socio-political challenges. The protests culminated in Morsi's ousting by the military in July 2013, further altering the landscape of Egyptian politics and raising international concerns over democratic governance and human rights in the region.
