Reflecting on the 30 June revolution, four years on

Reflecting on the 30 June uprising four years later: A number of publications have put out pieces on the fourth anniversary of the toppling of Morsi. The Arab Weekly’s Amr Emam recounts the details of the Ikhwan’s short-lived ruling period and the 30 June revolution that left the organization “in tatters.” The piece is particularly more bearable than some of the other pseudo-history being spewed out there. A prime example being this hogwash from Neil Ketchley in the Washington Post, who accuses the military of having manufactured the protests that led to Morsi’s downfall. We’d like to see how he would feel with no power in 41-degree weather. Naturally, one of the sore losers of that event, Al Jazeera is saying that President Abdel Fattah El Sisi’s regime is more authoritarian than Hosni Mubarak’s and that current economic conditions show how Egypt is “worse off” now than ever before. You can skip right over it.
