There is a fantastic article by Kelli Arena that was recently published that does a really good job of describing the root of the problems in Egypt. Arena believes that
- the youth of Egypt were denied economic, social, political opportunities
- the November election added to sense of repression
- youth groups, other protesters relied on social networks to organize
PBS also has an article written by Jessica Elsayed, a teen from Alexandria, Egypt who is a senior reporter for Youth Journalism International. Jessica has been experiencing her country's revolution firsthand.
Stay informed so we can continue to discuss this in class.
