Heute jährt sich der Beginn der ägyptischen Revolution zum 12. Mal. Die damaligen Ereignisse in der arabischen Welt beeinflussten meine Studienentscheidung. Als ich 2016 ein Auslandssemester in #Kairo machte, war die politische Situation längst erstarrt. Der Zugriff des alten Regimes hatte sich nie ganz gelöst. Der #Tahrir Platz wird durch Baumaßnahmen seit Jahren immer mehr gestutzt und seiner Geschichte beraubt. Die Erinnerung an den 25.1.2011 wird dennoch weiter leben.

Today is 12 years since revolutionary protests toppled old Egyptian regime. Yet human rights advocate Alaa Abd el-Fattah has been persecuted by authorities for 10 years & #GiulioRegeni was murdered by Egyptian police. This brutality must end. @amnesty

(We never forget)

The 2011 Egyptian revolution, also known as the 25 January revolution (Arabic: ثورة ٢٥ يناير; Thawrat khamsa wa-ʿišrūn yanāyir), began on 25 January 2011 and spread across Egypt. The date was set by various youth groups to coincide with the annual Egyptian "Police holiday" as a statement against increasing police brutality during the last few years of Hosni Mubarak's presidency. #egypt #jan25 Photo: Mona, ccbysa 2.0

"The forces set in motion in 2011 virtually guaranteed that the next decade will witness even more profound transformations—changes that will confound any policy based on a return to the old ways." #Jan25 https://www.foreignaffairs.com/articles/middle-east/2020-12-08/arab-uprisings-never-ended

“What else do we have left to fight with? That memory of possibility is all we have. Maybe, for now, it is enough...January 25th will always carry a symbolic and emotional potency, and the state has shown its nervousness.” #Jan25 https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/jan/25/egypt-revolution-five-years-omar-robert-hamilton?utm_source=pocket_reader
