The next wave of the Egyptian revolution
July 1, 2013
Egyptians took to the streets by the millions--some say the turnout was bigger than the demonstrations that toppled Hosni Mubarak in February 2011--for protests on June 30 against President Mohamed Morsi and his Muslim Brotherhood government. The turnout was so overwhelming that a competing rally in Cario held by the Islamists was dwarfed, and threats that the Brotherhood would organize violence to keep crowds off the street proved impossible.
