Five Years After Egypt’s Revolution, Echoes of Mubarak’s Repression Returns
GUEST: Mohamad Elmasry , assistant professor in the Department of Communications at the University of North Alabama. His article about Egypt in Al Jazeera English, is entitled, Another Arab Spring is Coming to Egypt.
Monday January 25th marked the fifth anniversary of a revolution in Egypt that shook the world. Mass protests against long-time dictator Hosni Mubarak prompted the Egyptian national army to take over the country that had been a central source of inspiration to Arab Spring movements.
But now, over the past 5 years, many feel the revolution was the beginning of yet another betrayal. President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi has resurrected many of the worst repressive measures under Mubarak, and some, like my guest, say a new revolution is in order.
