"Street Action" is the Kernel of Revolution" Egypt's Second Revolution with Atef Said, Egyptian human rights lawyer and scholar, author of two books about torture in Egypt, currently working on his dissertation about the Egyptian revolution.. and Sherief Gaber, Mosireen Independent Media Collective in Cairo
What is the Egyptian revolution if not "street action", the ability to express your-self and be heard said Bassem Youssef a popular Egyptian satirist on his popular show "Al Bernameg," of the growth of the grass-roots Tamarrod movement. Just as with the 2011 revolution, this "second revolution" began with youth activists, and now has spread like wildfire through the population. The Egyptian revolution is far from over and we'll go on the ground live to Egypt to ferret out the forces that comprise the Tamarrod movement, and examine the civil stratification in the wake of deposed present Morsi failure in leading Egypt on a democratic path, parse out the role historically & currently of the Egyptian military and determine the promise of a revolution that is far from over.
