Tamarod

Tamarod (Arabic: تمرد, romanizedtamarrud, "rebellion") was an Egyptian movement funded by the General Intelligence Service (Mukhabarat)[1][2] and UAE[3] to overthrow the 1st democratically elected Egyptian president Mohamed Morsi.[4] The nominal aim was to register opposition to and force him to call early presidential elections. The goal was to collect 15 million signatures by 30 June 2013, the one-year anniversary of Morsi's inauguration.[5] On 29 June 2013[6] the movement claimed to have collected more than 22 million signatures (22,134,460). A counter campaign was launched in support of Morsi's presidency which claimed to have collected 11 million signatures.[7] The movement was planning to become a political party following the 2014 Egyptian presidential election.[8][9]

The movement helped launch the June 2013 Egyptian protests[10] which was part of the 2013 Egyptian coup d'état.
