In January 2011, the army proclaimed it would not raise its weapons against civilian protesters, but in August 2013 it oversaw the , one of the biggest mass killings of protesters anywhere. Future research on the military would do well to account for both.

3. Focusing on one specific moment in time (i.e. the “end game”) does not allow us to understand the subsequent trajectory of events. shows we should not try to devise theories or typologies about military behavior based on a single moment in time during a single crisis.

2. Scholars often conflate two issues and assume that if the armed forces refuse to suppress the opposition, that they have effectively joined the opposition. But just because soldiers don't shoot protesters, doesn't mean they support them.

5 yrs ago today, Egyptian forces carried out one of the world’s largest killings of protesters (817+) in single-day in modern history. Massacre planned at highest levels. Ongoing efforts to crush dissent cannot erase what happened- continues to cast dark shadow over Egypt

بعد خمس سنوات من المجزرة Andrea Backhaus مراسلة جريدة الدي تزايت الألمانية بالقاهرة تكتب شهادتها عن فض اعتصام رابعة، السواد الأعظم من المعتصمين سلميين لقد كانت المجزرة في رابعة إعدام جماعي للمحتجين. ورغم ذلك فإن الغرب يتقارب مرة أخرى مع النظام في مصر. وهذا شيئ خاطئ
