August 2013 Egyptian raids

On 14 August 2013, Egyptian security forces raided two protester camps in Cairo, al-Nahda and the larger camp at Rabaa al-Adawiya mosque. The two sites had been occupied by supporters of ousted President Mohamed Morsi, who was removed from office by the military after mass street protests against him. The camps were raided after initiatives to end the six week sit-ins failed and were cleared out within hours.
