2011 was not 1968: an open letter from Egypt | ROAR Magazine

"Throughout the upsurge of protest in Egypt there was a strong
horizontal inclination, a non-centralized decision-making process, a
leaderless movement that could not be represented into an
individual-focused media apparatus — such a process of representation
falsifies reality, and so did the Western media narrative of the
uprising as an internet-savvy middle-class youth revolt."

As Egyptians trickle into Tahrir
to commemorate the 2011 revolution, hijacked by the army, it becomes
ever more important to listen to the unheard voices.
