On Dec. 3, Egypt's Political Parties Affairs Committee rejected the application submitted by the Tamarod movement to form its party. The committee requested the movement to reformulate its bylaws and financial regulations in accordance with Article 5 of the political parties law, and to send the file to the first chamber of the Supreme Administrative Court. This decision raised questions about the movement’s efficiency and presence, and most importantly, whether the harmony between Tamarod and the current regime has ended or not.
Since the emergence of the Tamarod movement on the Egyptian political scene on April 23, 2013, it drew a lot of attention and remained in the spotlight even after June 30. Talks were still ongoing about its future and fate, especially after it accomplished what the people perceived as its main, initial task that was to topple Mohammed Morsi’s regime. Thus, Tamarod was similar to other youth movements, which were formed based on a specific mission whose accomplishment led to the division or the disappearance of those movements.
