The Egyptian military deposed #HosniMubarak on #ThisDayInHistory in 2011, just one day after he gave a speech refusing to step down. #Mubarak's 'resignation' was announced by his veep and power was passed directly to the military, tarnishing the second success of the #ArabSpring.

Always happy to show his imperialist colours, #TonyBlair, in an interview with #PiersMorgan on #ThisDayInHistory in 2011, called Egyptian dictator #HosniMubarak a "courageous... force for good", and warned against letting the #ArabSpring create a real, actual democracy in #Egypt.
15 years ago today, Hundreds of thousands of protesters fill the Egyptian's streets against the #HosniMubarak's regime in demonstrations referred to as the "Friday of Anger".
The uprising in #Egypt that began on the 25th accelerated on #ThisDayInHistory in 2011, when the government of #HosniMubarak shut down Internet and cellular services. This was meant to hamper organizing, but it only encouraged more people to leave work & join in massive protests.
This shit is all coming down Jan 2029! Just like #SaddamHussein #GeneralLee #VladimirLenin #BashirAlAssad #HosniMubarak #MuammarGaddafi & other #LittleDicktators.
