Where is Egypt heading?

http://www.dailynewsegypt.com/2013/08/28/where-is-egypt-heading/#dnePhoto/0/

„[…] From a shining example of the so-called Arab Spring in the afterglow of Hosni Mubarak’s exit to the violent dispersals of pro-Mohamed Morsi sit-ins, the road that has taken Egypt from 25 January 2011 to the present has been winding and unpredictable.From a revolution in 2011, to military rule for a year, to elections in June 2012, to an Islamist regime under the Muslim Brotherhood, to another popular uprising ending in the ouster of the country’s first democratically elected president, Egypt today faces a dire political conflict, with not much to fill the political vacuum other than the military and security apparatuses.

Catena umana in spiaggia per salvare i profughi (VIDEO)

Pachino (Siracusa) : i bagnanti soccorrono decine di migranti stremati dal viaggio su un barcone. Napolitano: „Gesto che fa onore all’Italia“.

“Le immagini trasmesse ieri dalla TV delle decine di bagnanti, sulla spiaggia di Morghella – Pachino (Siracusa) che si sono spinti generosamente in mare per aiutare profughi provenienti dalla Siria, in gran parte bambini, a raggiungere la riva mettendosi in salvo, sono di quelle che fanno onore all’Italia”. A parlare è il Presidente della Repubblica Giorgio Napolitano che in una nota esalta il gesto dei bagnanti che ieri, sulla spiaggia di Monachella, a Pachino nel Siracusano, con una catena umana hanno soccorso i migranti, stremati dal viaggio e li hanno trasportati a riva a nuoto. Si tratta di 159 cittadini extracomunitari, tra cui 64 uomini, 28 donne e 67 minori, di presunta nazionalità siriana che erano a bordo di una imbarcazione di legno che si è arenata a pochi metri dalla costa. La maggior parte dei migranti, rimasta sul barcone, è stata poi presa a bordo delle unità di soccorso e trasferita a terra. Ora donna, uomini e bambini sono stati trasferiti al centro di Priolo ed al centro Umberto I di Siracusa.

Alongside slogans that were shouted or presented on banners, cartons, buttons and the like, songs constituted an integral part of what happened on the Square during the 18 days of the uprising.

Tunisian Rap Music and the Arab Spring:

Revolutionary Anthems and Post-Revolutionary Tendencies

<1>

After the emergence of the so-called Arab spring in 2011, Tunisian rap music became a subject of great interest to the public and the media. This was due above all to El Général, a young rap artist from the Tunisian city of Sfax, and the success of his song Ṛayīs li-Blād (Head of State).1
