S3 E3: Arab Spring - Ten Years On. In discussion with Shahira Amin

1.jpeg

Ten years after a pro-democracy uprising in the Middle East, has the 'Arab Spring' turned into a winter? We speak to journalist Shahira Amin, the former deputy head of Egyptian state-owned Nile TV and one of its senior anchors. She resigned from the position on February 3, 2011, over its biased coverage of the Egyptian Revolution of 2011.
We also head to Myanmar, formerly known as Burma, where another revolution is well underway after a military junta seized power more than a week ago. Learn about some parallels between the ongoing protests in Myanmar and the uprising in Egypt ten years earlier.
