Jadaliyya Coverage of Egypt on 30 June 2013
Egypt is experiencing one of its most significant mass movement in recent history. The numeric and geographic magnitude is unprecedented as it surpasses the protests that removed former Egyptian ruler, Hosni Mubarak, from power in February 2011. On 1 July 2013, the military gave the Muslim Brotherhood leadership 48 hours to resign in a televised broadcast. From what could be gathered, protestors celebrated the threat, which if actualized, would amount to a military coup. The Brotherhood has rebuffed the threat, confident that the US supports its ongoing rule. It has also called upon its supporters to protest in support of President Mohammed Morsi and against the potential coup. Below is an excellent compendium of articles published by Jadaliyya's Egypt Team to help put this critical moment in context.
For almost all Egyptians, 30 June 2013 is a day of celebration. Yet, while partisans of the Muslim Brotherhood are celebrating the one-year anniversary of Mohamed Morsi's presidency, the twenty-two million Egyptians who signed on to the Tamarod Campaign petition--calling for early president election--are celebrating its end.
To shed light on this critical juncture in the living history of the January 25 Revolution, the Egypt Page Editors at Jadaliyya would like to bring to your attention to a collection of articles that grapple with the complexities of the lead-up to 30 June and what it means for the future of Egypt.
