The Egyptian revolution of 2011, also known as the January 25 Revolution (Arabic: ثورة 25 يناير; Thawrah 25 yanāyir),[1] started on 25 January 2011 and spread across Egypt. The date was set by various youth groups to coincide with the annual Egyptian "Police holiday" as a statement against increasing police brutality during the last few years of Hosni Mubarak's presidency.
History
In January 2011, protests against then president Hosni Mubarak and his regime erupted in Cairo and other Egyptian cities. Egyptian expatriate, Layla Hassan, feeling the need for revolution, asked for a leave of absence from her occupation at Abstergo and returned to her home country. She was present for the Tahrir Square demonstrations. Although her fluency in Arabic was minimal, she managed to become strongly involved in the country's revolutionary youth culture. She helped her new friends communicate via social media and also in hacking digital devices despite the widespread government censorship.[2]
