Abstract

The 2011–12 Egyptian revolution (thawret 25 yanãyir, revolution of 25 January) took place following a popular uprising that began on Tuesday 25 January 2011 and is still continuing. The uprising was mainly a campaign of nonviolent civil resistance. In this revolution the participants have proved that if resistance begins with sincerity and unity, it may yet achieve victory.
