Description
Summary:Following the Egypt Uprising of 2011, Mohamed Morsi became Egypt’s first democratically elected president in June 2012. However, his presidency led to several violent protests and general dissatisfaction given his policies, which lacked political acumen, and the imposition of a semi-authoritarian system. Mursi’s government distortion of the revolutionary principles of 2011 transformed a search for democracy and social justice into a period of deep division and authoritarianism by the new Islamist power. This text studies the democratic transition’s failure and Mohamed Morsi’s Islamic government’s inability to establish a peaceful and stable political regime.
