News Commentary from EuropeIsrael's Nuclear Golem: A Road to Global ArmageddonMichael Collins Piper's The Golem argues that Israel's nuclear weapons program, symbolized by the legendary Golem, poses a significant threat to global stability. Piper contends that this program, fueled by a specific interpretation of Jewish religious teachings and aided by a pro-Israel lobby in the US, has dangerously influenced American foreign policy. He also explores the alleged Israeli involvement in events such as the USS Liberty incident and the assassination of John F. Kennedy, and critiques the US's relationship with Israel, including its support for India's nuclear ambitions. The book features commentary from various sources, including dissident Israelis.

Tahrir Podcast - بودكاست التحريرEP 23 - Elizabeth R. Nugent: After Repression: How Polarization Derails Democratic TransitionDr. Elizabeth R. Nugent is an assistant professor of politics at Princeton University. Her research focuses on the politics of authoritarianism and religion in the Middle East.
Dr. Nugent's first and award-winning book, After Repression: How Polarization Derails Democratic Transition, documents repression and polarization among the opposition in Egypt and Tunisia. She presents a theory of polarization under authoritarianism, highlighting the repression that defines these contexts. On the one hand, Hosni Mubarak's Egypt demonstrated targeted repression, which was overwhelmingly directed at the Muslim Brotherhood. Zine el-Abidine Ben Ali (ZABA)'s Tunisia, on the other hand, demonstrated widespread rep...2022-09-1150 min

Cuando la cacerola es el instrumento y la partitura es la pancarta, los cánticos se convierten en canciones.

Democracy in Question?What is the legacy of Egypt’s Arab Spring, 10 years on?10 years ago anti-government protests in Tunisia sparked a wave of spontaneous uprisings against authoritarian regimes in the Middle East and North Africa. The Arab Spring was met with repression by governments in the region, but ultimately led to the ousting of rulers such as Ben Ali in Tunisia, Muammar Gaddafi in Libya and Hosni Mubarak in Egypt. But the hope that these changes would usher a new era of democracy in the region has been belied. Michael Wahid Hanna (International Crisis Group) helps us understand the turbulent events of 2011 in Egypt, what changes t...2021-06-0330 min

En 2011, el mundo fue testigo de protestas multitudinarias en la región del Medio Oriente, incluido el norte de África.
Después de que Tariq Tayyib Mohamed Bouazizi —un vendedor de frutas y verduras— se inmolara en la ciudad tunecina de Sidi Bouzid, pareció que el descontento que los pobladores de esa región habían estado acumulando durante décadas hubiera colmado su paciencia.

Das CriminalArab Uprisings: Libya | The First Civil WarOn the 14th of January, 2011, Tunisia — Libya’s neighbor to the northwest — toppled longtime dictator Zine El Abidine Ben Ali and vowed to establish a democracy in the small country. Less than a month later — on the 11th of February, 2011, Egypt — Libya’s neighbor to the east — overthrew its authoritarian president, Hosni Mubarak. A few days later, protests began in Benghazi, Libya, attempting to oust Libya’s longtime ruler, Muammar Gaddafi. But despite being sandwiched between Tunisia and Egypt, Libya’s revolt and its consequences bear significant distinctions from the previous uprisings we’ve covered — most notably NATO’s intervention an...2021-01-2637 min

January 25th was celebrated annually as Police Day in Egypt. Unlike previous years, however, this January 25th saw the rage of a people brutalized by police for years explode onto the streets. Perhaps the most famous of the Arab Spring uprisings, and certainly the one most covered at the time, Egypt saw its own uprising.

Perspektif10 Tahun “Kebangkitan Dunia Arab”, Apa yang Tersisa dari Gerakan Revolusioner Tersebut?(Taiwan, ROC) --- Pada akhir tahun 2010, seorang pedagang sayur muda Tunisia mendapat perlakukan kejam dari aparat penegak hukum setempat, dikarenakan mendirikan sebuah kios. Secara tidak terduga, pria tersebut mengakhiri hidupnya dengan membakar diri, sebagai bentuk protes.
Peristiwa tersebut sontak saja membangkitkan kemarahan warga setempat yang selama ini telah bertahan. Aksi pelampiasan warga-warga di kala itu juga telah memicu perubahan rezim di banyak negara Arab dan Afrika utara. Gelombang aksi protes tersebut pada akhirnya disebut sebagai “Arab Spring” (Kebangkitan Dunia Arab).
