Abstract
INTRODUCTION
On 25 January 2011, widespread protest began against Mubarak regime. The objective of the protests was the removal of Mubarak from the power. These protests took the form of an intensive campaign of civil resistance supported by a very large number of people. After three days, even Muslim Brotherhood joint the protests by 29 January 2011 it was becoming clear that Mubarak’s regime had lost control when a curfew order was ignored and army took a semi-neutral instance on enforcing the curfew order. On 11 February Hosni Mubarak resigned and flat Cairo Vice-President Amr-Soulemein announced that Mubarak had step down and then the Egyptian Military would assume control of the nation-affairs in the short term. Juvelline celebration broke out in Tahir Square. On 13 February 2011, the high- level military command of Egypt had been dissolved. The parliamentary election has to be held in September. The Muslim Brotherhood was the clear winner in the parliamentary election that ended in January 2012 holding roughly half of the seats. In March, the brotherhood reneged on a promised not to see presidency. Its initial candidate was rejected by the courts. On the basis of Mubarak era conviction and the parties’ back-up candidate Mohamed Morsi became the President.
