People needed a hero, and some courage to stand together as one man for their own country. The revolution was the last ray of hope before Egypt turns into a wasteland. The injustice was not the only reason for the revolution, but there were many events happening before 25th of January to make people explode. One of them was the corruption in the People's Assembly elections. The People's Assembly elections took place two months before the outbreak of the protests, and the ruling National Party won 97% of the seats in the parliament, meaning that the parliament was devoid of any significant opposition, which made the citizens frustrated. And described those elections fraudulent because they contradict the reality in the Egyptian street.

(Imran). The next one was when the police killed a Khayal 3 guy because he filmed them selling drugs. The Egyptian citizen Khaled Mohamed Saeed was killed in Alexandria on June 6, 2010 after he was tortured to death by two informants of the Sidi Gaber Police Department. After the Egyptian Public Prosecutor ordered a re-autopsy, which sparked widespread protests without issuing a verdict in the case, which sparked great controversy and played an important preliminary role for the outbreak of the revolution. These events were the main events that made the social media explode. Social media played an important role in calling for the Egyptian revolution, especially the Internet, and its role comes through the social site Facebook, which exploited political activists in Egypt to communicate with each other and put forward and spread their ideas. To define this day in a very important way in terms of meaning and message, as the message was directed specifically to the Ministry of the Interior and the oppressive method it pursues. Egyptian citizen, Wael Ghoneim and activist Abdel Rahman Mansour created a page entitled “We are all Khaled Said” on the social site Facebook on the Internet (Eisa).

Jaber, which sparked widespread protests, which in turn was an important prelude to the outbreak of the revolution. Wael Ghoneim and Abdel Rahman Mansour also called on the Facebook page for the Day of Rage demonstrations on January 25, 2011. He had a major role in coordinating with the youth to blow up the revolution on January 25, 2011. The promised day came, and thousands of protesters answered the call, and peaceful demonstrations took place in various parts of Egypt. The demonstration was against poverty, ignorance, unemployment, and high prices, and they were calling for the government to leave. The demonstrations took place in several Egyptian cities at the same time. In the capital, Cairo, it moved from several places to meet in Tahrir Square in central Cairo, and at midnight the Central Khayal 4 Security Forces resorted to dispersing the sit-in of thousands of Egyptians by force in Tahrir Square. Three demonstrators were killed in the protests, in addition to a police soldier.

The demonstrators chanted slogans such as "Tunisia is the solution," "Down with Hosni Mubarak" and "The people want to bring down the regime." The Ministry of Communications cut off mobile phone service in Tahrir Square this morning and the service was restarted at night. They protested and stayed in Cairo at a place called Midan Altahrir. From the first day, someone has been killed because of police brutality. The police attempted several times to make them frighten and try to adjourn the protestors with force, hot water, or Rubber bullets. The government that ruled for more than 30 years failed to make them leave, until the ninth day. The police came to the protestors tent and between thousands of people with many camels and horses to make them run from Midan Altahrir, so they can control it with guns and men and make everybody leave. What the protestors did was astonishing, young, adults, old, women, and men, all of them hold hands and stood in front of death challenging the world. According to Alahram newspaper, 11 people died that day and 600 injured (Fathi). That day made the entire country not only sad but also furious at the president. At 11 February 2011, Husni Mubarak the president of Egypt for 30 years announced that he will step down and resign. What we considered as an impossible dream made everyone believe. Believe that these young people can carry this country to a new era, and even if we are not armed, or even has the power and the money that they had we still can look at the sky and dream of a happy life.
