Remember this shit? Can Middle East anons tell stories and thoughts? Also, does anyone have any book recommendations on it? I'm looking for some new books to read.

The only country where this worked was in Tunisia, where the Arab Spring first started. Countries like Libya and Egypt turned into shitholes again.

You mean, succesful countries like Libya were turned into shitholes by the democratic party.

Cairo old hands didn't appreciate some of the US social activism in the region, hence Ambassador Stevens.

Very disingenuous to say "Democratic Party" and not "American Foreign Policy Blob"

Pic related is more generally about the ways social media and instant communication affect protest movements and mass demonstrations, but it spends a significant amount of time on 2011 Egypt in particular. I found broad thrust of the book interesting, but I also learned some new details re the Spring in Egypt.
