CASTANEDA REYES, José Carlos. The achievements and errors of a process of popular insurrection: Egypt, 2011-2014. Estud. Asia Áfr. [online]. 2018, vol.53, n.2, pp.267-291. ISSN 2448-654X.  https://doi.org/10.24201/eaa.v0i0.2401.

The purpose of this paper is to evaluate, from a historical perspective, the major achievements of a process of popular insurrection in Egypt beginning on January 25, 2011, which concluded with the promulgation of the new Egyptian Constitution in January, 2014, while evaluating as well its notable mistakes. These were four years of intense historical reality, when the Egyptian people were able to carry out what was called the thawratâni masriyyatâni, two “Egyptian revolutions” that tried to achieve the objectives of “bread, freedom, social justice and human dignity”-which became the goals for the progress of rebellion witnessed by the world during that period. This was a time of significant achievements but also very costly mistakes that allowed the coming to power of a regime where there was military control over the popular forces that made the 2011 and 2013 “revolutions”-military control with the aim of preventing the implementation of measures for real-economic, social, political-change in Egypt.
