ABSTRACT
The 2011 Egyptian uprising constitutes one of the most important sociopolitical events in modern Middle Eastern history. Spanning a mere eighteen days, from January 15 until February 11, the revolution began with street protests calling for social, economic and political reforms, and ended with the resignation of President Hosni Mubarak. The Supreme Council of the Armed Forces (SCAF) came to power temporarily, with promises of parliamentary and presidential elections within the year.
