- Title
Why Did the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood Year-Long Rule Fall?
- Authors
Jaraba, Mahmoud
- Abstract
Why did the well-structured and powerful Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood fail to main-tain power for more than a year even though it won all of the elections in the post-Mubarak era? From the viewpoint of the Brotherhood, the ouster of Mohammed Morsi, the first elected civilian president in the history of Egypt, by General Abdel Fattah al-Sisi came as a result of what Brotherhood leaders describe as Egypt's »deep state,« which includes the military, security services, bureaucracy, media and judiciary. This article argues that resistance by the deep state is only one reason for the ouster of the Brother-hood and that other factors are associated with the Brotherhood's miscalculations and strategic choices in the post-Mubarak era.
