The Rabaa Massacre killed about one thousand Morsi supporters without stopping Sisi

Evidence

Morsi had millions of supporters in the country who pointed out that he had actually won the only legitimate presidential election in Egyptian history. They occupied the square—not Tahrir, but Rabaa, a few miles to the east—surrounding a mosque. Media spread exaggerated reports that the Muslim Brotherhood was planning violence. The army raided and cleared the square, killing approximately one thousand people. The Rabaa Massacre shocked human rights organizations, but it didn’t change the situation for Sisi one bit. The Muslim Brotherhood was banned. Dictatorship was back in Egypt. Simple as that. — Vincent Bevins, If We Burn, 451

• ADDENDUM: The massacre of Morsi’s pro-democracy supporters — who had lost power through a coup — is the mirror image of the sacrifices documented across this decade, showing that mass death does not necessarily move elite power.
