The 30th of June people’s revolution is regarded as the biggest and largest uprising in the history of humanity as over 20 million citizens flooded the streets in rebellion against the radical Brotherhood Group’s policies.
The Egyptian Army, which is also considered the people’s shield against injustice, stepped in to re-take control of matters before the state would enter into a violent turmoil.
Current president, who was the minister of defense at the time, took it upon himself to gather all the nation’s symbols in order to depose of then president Mohamed Morsi in order to preserve the state’s security.
