In collaboration with the New America Foundation’s Middle East Task Force:
On February 11, 2011, an 18-day popular uprising in Egypt culminated in the overthrow of former President Hosni Mubarak, who after 30 years in power had been one of the longest-serving autocrats in the Arab world. One year on, the world remains irrevocably altered by the regional events that have collectively come to be known as the Arab Awakening.
Come meet three documenters of the historic Egyptian uprising as they discuss the events surrounding the revolt and the ongoing revolutionary upheaval in the country.
Copies of Khalil’s book Liberation Square: Inside the Egyptian Revolution and the Rebirth of a Nation will be available for purchase.
