Next Episode: 44 - Arab Uprisings: Egypt | The Murder of Giulio Regeni
In January and February of 2011, Egyptians led an uprising against the country’s authoritarian leader, Hosni Mubarak, shouting — among other slogans — “We are never going back.” Back to oppression, dictatorship, and cruelty at the hands of regimes subservient to Western interests.
But now — ten years after the events that took power back from Mubarak — that’s exactly Egypt’s situation. How did the country go from a fledgling democracy — and beacon of hope for other countries in the region — to a dictatorship under military General Abdel Fatah Al Sisi? In this week’s episode, we’re going to discuss the 2013 Egypt coup d'état and counter-revolution.
