Was the revolution successful for Egypt and why?

Answer 1

The Egyptian revolution of 2011 initially succeeded in overthrowing President Hosni Mubarak and igniting hopes for democratic reforms. However, the subsequent political instability, the rise of the military under Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, and the suppression of dissent have led many to view the revolution as ultimately unsuccessful in achieving its goals of democracy and social justice. While it sparked significant political discourse and activism, the lack of lasting democratic institutions has hindered meaningful change. Thus, the revolution's immediate effects were overshadowed by the re-establishment of authoritarian rule.
