January 25 2020 marks the ten year anniversary of Egypt’s revolution in 2011. It put in motion an end to the 29-year rule of Hosni Mubarak. But looking back to the start of those unprecedented protests, was it all in naught or did some good come out of it?

In this podcast, we'll explore those questions from three Egyptians who all participated in the revolution in their own way:

Mohamed Abdelfattah, a journalist who was awarded the International Press Freedom award by the Canadian Journalists for Free Expression for his work during the revolution.

Nadia Idle a writer and activist from London and Cairo. She edited 'Tweets from Tahrir', a book that tells the story of the Egyptian uprising in tweets, published March 2011.

*Amira (name changed for security reasons), a financial analyst living in Europe who participated later on in the protests and helped to establish the Social Democratic Party.

The discussion is moderated by Anne-Marie Bissada.
