Tahrir Square Protests
The Tahrir Square Protests were a series of demonstrations in Cairo, Egypt, that began on January 25, 2011. These protests were part of the larger Arab Spring movement, where citizens demanded political reform, social justice, and an end to the long-standing rule of President Hosni Mubarak. The protests drew thousands of people to Tahrir Square, symbolizing the fight for democracy in Egypt.
Over 18 days, the protests escalated, leading to violent clashes between demonstrators and security forces. On February 11, 2011, President Mubarak resigned, marking a significant victory for the protesters. The events in Tahrir Square inspired similar movements across the region, highlighting the power of collective action.
