Tahrir Abu Mady

The 2013 Egyptian coup d'etat refers to the overthrow of the Egyptian president, Mohamed Morsi, on July 3, 2013. The Egyptian army chief General Abdel Fattah el-Sisi led a coalition to remove President of Egypt Mohamed Morsi from power and suspended the Egyptian constitution of 2012. The move came after an ultimatum that the government "resolve its differences" with protesters during widespread national protests. Morsi and Muslim Brotherhood leaders, were placed under house arrest and Chief Justice of the Supreme Constitutional Court Adly Mansour was declared interim president of Egypt. The announcement was followed by demonstrations and clashes between supporters and opponents of the move throughout Egypt.
