  • At the end of 2010, Egypt had reached boiling point. What followed was a decade of upheaval - the toppling of Mubarak, democratic elections, a military coup, and the subsequent rollback of human rights - with a brutal crackdown on protesters. A decade later, has anything actually improved?

Everyone is really careful to not say anything against the government for they know what could happen. The revolutionaries here are brave and valiant.

    NOT, one path but different destinations.
    What I understood from middle eastern arab spring or any civil wars that in most there were so so many fractions of people who all participated but all had different will/wish to achieve after over throwing the govt. So, over throwing the existing problem didn't end the revolution but created one more and then oneore and then one more problem.

    There are so many dismissive comments, as if history has ended, this is the final outcome, and Al Sisi will rule till the end of times. A decade has passed, not really a huge span in terms of history. It is a testament to the courage and persistence of all the very very strong-willed, selfless and brave people that even such a repressive, brutal regime, with all its muscle and guns, has not been able to erase the spirit of dissent. And it is this never-yeilding spirit, this courage that inspires other ordinary people who gather together to protest other injustices in other countries. The "success" of mass movements, of revolutions, can not be measured in terms of immediate outcomes. The French Revolution descended into the Reign of Terror within a decade, and then gave way to Napoleonic dictatorship & empire, yet the ideals of equality, liberty, fraternity, and the Declaration of the Rights of the Man still inspire and guide movemwnts for democracy. So tell me, was the Frech Revolution successful? Or can it be dismissed as "some people died, nothing changed"?

      @@pontchatrain Yes, "upending established hierarchies" is a big deal - that is how peoples of different regions have gained workers' rights, and civil rights', and womens' rights, and lgbtq rights' - by upending established hierarchies ... Also, being from a postcolonial country myself, I really am not much into the whole "once proud nations" of Europe thing, presuming you are referring to either the pre-Enlightenment era, or the colonial period - I'm not sure which, coz u have not specified anything except a vague critique of democracy as a bad form of government. My example of the French Revolution was exactly that, an example. You can replace it with any other Revolution or mass movement - from those of the "White" world e.g. The American Revolution, French Revolution, Irish Freedom Movement to other civil rights movements like suffragate, and women's lib movements in the 3rd world (to use a cold war term), the Civil Rights Movement under MLK, much later political struggles like Fight against Apartheid, the freedom struggles of erstwhile colonised nations to the recent protests in Hong Kong, the BLM movement, and the anti-coup movement going on in Myanmar this very moment. I was not even speaking about democracy in Europe post Enlightenment, or democracy as a form of govt in general either - I was talking about mass movements protesting against oppression. You seem to have fixated on the French Revolution. However, my original point was about the protests in Egypt during the Arab Spring and after, and even now under Al Sisi regime. And it came from a personal place I guess, because my country too is going through a far-right surge, like so many other countries in the world, with political figures becoming more authoritarian and the establishment becoming more intolerant of dissent, and when very ordinary people with ordinary will-power like me go and participate in demonstrations with the risk of being beaten up or injured, the examples of all these others who got together to resist oppression, gives courage and inspiration. And that is the legacy of the Arab Spring and other protest movements.

    This series seems to be very selective so far in who they are interviewing. It appears to be a very educated, middle-class liberal elite as opposed to interviewing other factions which played and are playing arguably a more important role in the development of the Arab Spring revolutions, such as the Islamic, Falaheen, Syndicalist, etc factions. You have to remember Egypt is deeply religious with some 80 percent supporting implementing Sharia Law, 1/5 are illiterate and about 1/3 live below the poverty line. The revolution brought to the fore not only political divisions in Egypt but also cultural divisions (between urban elites and the countryside -Reef), between Islamic and secular such that secular factions were willing to have military intervention over accepting the democratic election of an Islamist and class divisions as well.

Islamisation was a direct result of foreign intervention, it's a form of resistance and regression, which is proven by the state of the middle east before and after the USA got involved in removing leaders and planting puppets that serve its agenda.

      Interesting point of view. Could it be that democracy is simply incompatible with certain cultures?

Certainly it is far away from political imprisonment and police brutality

      They are both pretty awful dictators.

Al-Sisi prevented that, but the cost was freedom of speech and human rights.
