Egypt

The 2011 egytian uprisings were a result of economic hardships, police brutality, and corruption under the regime of Hosny Mubarak. The uprisings started on January 25th, 2011, and culminated with Hosny Mubarak stating that he will not run for reelection. No single opponent faced him, instead a collection of small factions all joined to form vast hordes of angry citizens in Cairo.
