Book excerpt: The secret plan that started Egypt's revolution (Aljazeera.com)

. . We were all dazed and like, ‘What are we going to do with all these people?!’ Because we hadn’t expected that they would come out. . I mean, we had thought a lot about how we would get the people to come out, but we had never thought about what we would do with the people if they did come out. This was one of the most moving scenes . So when they actually did, it was like, ‘Ok, so what are we going to do now?!’ That’s when we started to say, ‘To Tahrir Square!'” “I recalled that one of the things we often encountered before this during protests is that the people watching were afraid to join us. There was the idea of the snowball, that the more headway your march makes, the larger it swells.” The book tells the story of the young activists who sparked the [mass uprising in Egypt](/features/2021/1/25/remembering-tahrir-square-10-years-on) that led to the spectacular collapse of the government of President Hosni Mubarak in 2011 and who struggled in the succeeding years to remake the country. It was a triumphant moment for the activists who, for the first time, had managed to overwhelm and disorient security forces. “Today is January 25, Police Day!” he roared into the megaphone. They were deliriously happy. The excerpt explains the strategy conceived by [the organisers](/features/2021/1/17/egypt-2011-we-did-not-know-we-would-be-documenting-history) to help Egyptians, especially those of lower class backgrounds, overcome their fear of the police and join them en masse in the streets on January 25, 2011.

Pharaonic projects are not Egypt's priority | Haitham El-Zobaidi | AW (The Arab Weekly)

Egypt needs to take a second look at its resources, potential and the future of population growth before considering urban development. Wednesday 25/01/2023.

It is difficult to tell if the construction of the new administrative capital falls under the category of development. The number of transiting ships is linked to the world's commercial movement and the number of large ships, and not to the available space when going through the canal. It is very tempting, especially for leaders who are keen to leave their mark in the history books. In Egypt, a country whose population grows by more than a million people every year and is surrounded by desert and faces declining water resources, it is not possible to imagine any magical solutions that can change the facts on the ground. But was the alternative to abandon it in favour of a new administrative capital? The project may be one of the solutions to Cairo's urban and demographic problems. It was one of those rare moments in history when places of worship preceded the coming of potential worshippers. There is an agglomeration of everything, not to mention the accumulation of demographic numbers. Thousands of years passed before the maritime and then air transportation revolutions paved the way for the launch of modern tourism and for the historical landmarks to become a profitable draw for Egypt. There are additional urban and economic monuments which tempted the presidents of the republican era, as they joined the race. Of course, the aesthetics of the pyramids and their majestic splendour do not hide the fact that they are rather monuments to absurdity. I once read that the Great Pyramid is the largest building in the world.

But New Delhi views Egypt as a moderate Islamic voice, which has made an attempt over the years to play a nuanced and positive role in the 57-member Organisation of Islamic Cooperation, where Pakistan has managed to get some India-centric condemnatory resolutions.

High-level exchanges with Egypt continued after the 2011 Egyptian Revolution and then President Mohamed Morsi visited India in March 2013. President Pranab Mukherjee and PM Modi met Sisi during the Third India-Africa Forum Summit in New Delhi in October 2015. India and Egypt share close political understanding based on a long history of cooperation in bilateral, regional and global issues. The choice of chief guest every year is dictated by a number of reasons — strategic and diplomatic, business interests, and international geo-politics. This is the first time that an Egyptian President has been invited as chief guest for the event.

In the midst of all these challenges, the role of Egypt and India stands out, as both of them are qualified to play an active role at the international level in that regard. We need to deepen our talks about the attractive investment opportunities in Egypt, in which we are inviting India to participate. Can India and Egypt, as nations with good relations with the key players in this region, help manage such tensions?As I mentioned, the determinants of our approach towards the existing crises in the region are based on respect for the sovereignty of states and finding a peaceful solution to crises. The relations that bind us with the Arab and African countries have deep roots in history, in addition to being relations of a common destiny, and we are keen to support all efforts that would improve the political and socio-economic development of the Arab region and Africa. Each time I come here, I feel at home due to the similarities between the two great civilisations, Egypt and India. How does Egypt view these developments in the context of global peace and security? I affirm that the two countries are keen on strengthening bilateral relations in various fields, and I am sure this visit will witness more fostering of the partnership between the two countries in various fields, taking into account the technological and financing capabilities of India, and the promising opportunities for work and investment that Egypt provides in addition to the continuation of consultation and coordination between the two governments at the regional and international levels. We believe that the approach should be carried out through a comprehensive strategy that does not stop at the borders of military and strategic cooperation, but extends to social and economic dimensions and cultural and intellectual aspects. To that end, we are willing to cooperate with India as a major political and economic power. I would also like to stress that Egypt-India relations are not spur of the moment, but rather solid and extended relations that are rooted to around 75 years, and therefore there is a large deal of historical cooperation between the two countries that can be built upon and provides promising opportunities for advancing bilateral relations. Given that Egypt is a country straddling the Middle East and Africa, what are the priorities for your country’s foreign policy going into 2023? India and Egypt have a long history of cooperation and close ties but you are the first Egyptian head of State to be invited as the chief guest for India’s Republic Day celebrations and Egypt is a guest country under India’s G20 presidency.

In India, the premises of independent media houses critical of the government have been raided by various government authorities.
