Kairo

The Egyptian Revolution celebrates its second anniversary on January 25, 2013, with tear gas and street battles. A rebellion sweeps President Mohamed Mursi out of office, and the military temporarily takes power in the Nile country, as outlined in the Roadmap for political transition. As a reader, you will follow the developments from early January 2013 to January 2014. Through a wealth of vividly described episodes and striking snapshots, the author takes you to the streets of Cairo, right into the heart of the Egyptian metropolis, directly to the people. There, where it is loud and crowded, where joy, worries, dangers, and troubles are closely intertwined, and where the future of the country is fiercely contested. Like a puzzle, a completely different perspective on the major news that not only shook the Egyptian world emerges piece by piece.
