Egypt celebrates the 4th anniversary of June, 30 revolution, which is described as “The rectifying and saving revolution”. It hasn’t only rectified the political path but also the economic one.

The world will always remember that millions of Egyptians from various trends gathered to reject the policies of Muslim Brotherhood group rose up the slogan “Nation is first” and chanted “Long Live Egypt”.

The Egyptians turned over a new leaf by backing the political leadership topped by President Abdel Fattah El Sisi who had undertaken the mission to bring back Egypt’s leading role and taken several crucial and courageous decisions to develop the Egyptian economy.

As always, the Egyptian Armed Forces defended the people and declared its support to the public will against the group that aimed at abusing the nation.

Historical statements

Although the Egyptian people has clearly declared its demands in the protests, but the presidential institution headed -back then- by ex - President Mohamed Morsi had ignored those demands, until the military institution released a statement on the 1st of July 2013 offering a 48-hour time limit to respond to the demands of the people within the framework of its public legitimacy, which implies by a way or another that Morsi will step down.

As the deadline offered by the military institution was to end and the protests rejecting the rule of Muslim Brotherhood continued, the brotherhood group sent on the 2nd of July 2013 its supporters to the streets and Morsi gave a statement confirming his firm adherence to the legitimacy of the elections, rejecting the army alert and threatening those who oppose the legitimacy. As a result violence burst causing some deaths and injuries. So the Armed Forces had a meeting with the political national power and Al Azhar to take the decisions of July, 3 that established a new phase for the Egyptian revolution.
