1968 protests in Egypt

The 1968 protests in Egypt involved general strikes and protests against Gamal Abdel Nasser's government, demanding an end to corruption. On 9 June 1967, Nasser had resigned after Egypt was defeated by Israel in the Six-Day War. The next day, hundreds of thousands of his supporters rallied him to stay. Protests started in Helwan in February 1968 and quickly swept the country. The unrest lasted until March, when the army quelled it.The student movement in Egypt over the last century October 21, 2014 The Middle East Monitor https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/20141021-the-student-movement-in-egypt-over-the-last-century/Egypt’s hidden history of dissent 25 January 2015 The New Arab https://english.alaraby.co.uk/english/comment/2015/1/25/egypts-hidden-history-of-dissentAfrica’s 1968: Protests and Uprisings Across the Continent 12 June 2018 Verso https://www.versobooks.com/blogs/3877-africa-s-1968-protests-and-uprisings-across-the-continent See also 1919 Egyptian revolution Protests of 1968 2011 Egyptian revolution References Category:1968 in Egypt Category:Protests in Egypt Egypt
