Description
This presentation will discuss developments in the Egyptian Revolution over the past three years. It will begin with a quick overview of the political and socio-economic conditions that eventually culminated in the January 2011 Revolution. Then, the primary focus will be on the past three years. The speakers will provide a unique, unfiltered access to facts as they are on the ground, and will analyze the causes behind the turmoil that has virtually derailed what had been celebrated as one of the greatest revolutions in modern history. The speakers will comment on the total erosion of freedom since the military takeover that has been using all its might to bring Egypt back into military dictatorship. We will present an account of the brutal crackdown against any type of opposition to the military coup, and the unspeakable crimes the military regime has committed against innocent Egyptians, specifically women, children and students.
