The Egyptian Revolution of 2011 (الثورة المصرية 2011 al-Thawrah al-Miṣriyyah 2011), sometimes called the 25 January Revolution (ثورة 25 يناير Thawrat 25 Yanāyir), the Revolution of the Youth (ثورة الشباب Thawrat al-Shabāb) or the White Revolution (الثورة البيضاء al-Thawrah al-bayḍāʾ) is a social movement that began in Egypt on 25 January 2011, characterised by a series of street demonstrations, marches, rallies, acts of civil disobedience, riots, labour strikes, and violent clashes; the date was selected to coincide with the National Police Day. The protests were largest in Cairo and Alexandria, with significant activities in other cities of Egypt.[11] At times over a million people were protesting to demand the overthrow of the Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, an end to corruption and police repression, and democratic reforms of the political system.[12] The demonstrations and other actions in Egypt in this period were part of a campaign of civil resistance, a technique of struggle relying primarily on non-violent methods. On 11 February, Mubarak resigned from office as a result of determined popular protest.[13] While localized protests had been common in previous years, the 2011 protests have been the largest demonstrations seen in Egypt since the 1977 Bread Riots and unprecedented in scope,[14] drawing participants from a variety of socio-economic backgrounds and religions
