Politics by Other Means - In Egypt, Street Protests Set the Agenda

theendofempire:

More from Mona El-Ghobashy:

“Egypt’s uprising happened when three distinct currents of protest—labor, professional, and popular—finally converged. That convergence transformed a routine political demonstration calling for reforms into a nationwide cry for regime change. Together, the protesters defeated a formidable police force and brought down a tenacious president. Now they are shaping the politics of post-revolutionary Egypt, resisting the military rulers’ efforts to take them off the streets.”

I want to hear more from her:

Her interests include social movements and (de)democratization in the Middle East and North Africa.
