2013 Egyptian coup d'état

On July 3, 2013, then-President of Egypt Mohamed Morsi was overthrown by a coup d'etat led by Egyptian army chief General Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, who led a coalition to remove Morsi from power and suspend the Egyptian constitution of 2012. The move came after an ultimatum that the government "resolve its differences" with protesters during widespread national protests.
