Anarchy in the Egyptian Revolution: a talk by three Egyptian Anarchists about Tahrir Square, the Arab Spring, and the Anti-Capitalist Struggle



In February, hundreds of thousands of Egyptians both in Cairo and throughout the country brought down the 30 year rule of Hosni Mubarak. Many had hopes of a new "democracy", but in July Egyptians were back in Tahrir Square demanding the rights they had expected. Now, 8 months on, how is the revolution progressing? Are the demands of the Egyptian revolution, as well as those of the other "Arab Spring" revolutions being destroyed by one or another power elite? Three Egyptian anarchists Amr Abdelrahman, Dina Makram Ebeid, and Jano Charbel are in the UK to discuss with us their views on the Egyptian uprising in Jan/Feb and where the revolution goes from here.
