If you are not with us, you are against us
For three years, Egyptians have been taking to the streets demanding democracy, social justice and freedom, and for three years they have been denied.

New history lessons in Egypt
By Tom Rollins The history of the Egyptian revolution is still being written.

Whoever. It could still do quite …
Culling youth
Egypt haemorrhages. Stretcher-bearers bus bodies, fallen replaced. Helicopters swoop and hover. Tormented faces agonise.

Moving Egypt back to the democratic path
By Catherine Ashton Even in a country as turbulent as Egypt is today, some traditions transcend the sharpest divisions and provide brief periods of calm. Last week, on my drive into Cairo we saw very few cars. The city’s legendary traffic jams had disappeared. It was just after dusk. People were at home with their …
The Sisi Propaganda
So the day is done and as expected millions took to the streets in response to General Abdul Fatah Al-Sisi’s call to authorise the army to “fight terrorism.” Scenes from yesterday’s different marches and demonstrations show how confusing things were.
