On 30 June 2013, millions of Egyptians took to the streets to protest the tumultuous rule of Islamist President Mohamed Morsi, who had come to power in June 2012.

Amid the mass protests against his rule, Morsi was removed from office on 3 July by a wide coalition of political forces, which set a roadmap for amending the country's constitution and holding new elections.

Thursday, 2 July, will be a fully paid day off for governmental and private sector workers on the occasion of the seventh anniversary of the 30 June revolution.

President Abdel Fattah El Sisi asserted on Tuesday that the June 30 Revolution will always remain alive in the memory of all generations of Egyptian people, noting that that revolution has reinforced principles of pride, dignity, patriotism, and the preservation of Egypt's original identity from kidnapping.

"On the seventh anniversary of our glorious revolution, I affirm that we are a nation that has made history and is still making it in various fields and inspiring humanity with what it achieves," Sisi posted on his official Facebook and Twitter accounts.

He vowed to continue working and the battle for construction, stressing that he will keep facing domestic and external challenges with the same determination displayed during the 30 June Revolution.
