On February 11, 2011, after weeks of protests, Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak resigned from office, ending his nearly 30-year rule. The protests, which were sparked by frustrations over political corruption, unemployment, and police brutality, had grown into a massive movement centered in Cairos Tahrir Square. Though Mubaraks resignation was a significant victory for protesters, the revolution also led to widespread violence, clashes, and deaths, with over 800 people killed and thousands injured. The event marked the beginning of a tumultuous period in Egypts history, with subsequent political instability and power struggles. The revolution inspired similar movements across the Middle East in what became known as the Arab Spring.
