Egypt’s Revolutionary Reset
The June 30 protests that sparked Egypt's military coup against President Mohamed Morsi amounted to a revolt against the revolution, with important lessons for Egypt’s latest attempt at political transformation. Most important, a successful political and economic transformation must be guided by the principle of "no victor, no vanquished."
CAIRO – Whether or not Egypt’s first-ever democratically elected president, Mohamed Morsi, was pushed aside by a military coup may be debatable, but it is undeniable that the June 30 protest that triggered his ouster was the largest mass movement in Egypt’s history. It was also glaring testimony to the failure of the first phase of Egypt’s revolution.
