Sins of the father, sins of the son

Egypt's forgotten children
One of the untold stories of Egypt's popular revolution is the plight of homeless children caught up in the unrest. As the country adjusted to a new political reality during the protests, Cairo’s estimated 50,000 street children also found that the rules of the game had changed.

Egypt's Berlin Wall moment
Since the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, four transformative events have reshaped the global setting in enduring ways. When the Soviet empire collapsed two years later, the way was opened for the triumphalist pursuit of the American imperial project, seizing the opportunity for geopolitical expansion provided by its self-anointed global leadership..

Critical Connections: Egypt, the US, and Israel
Minimally explored in all the coverage of the momentous Egyptian uprising taking place over the last 12 days are the Israeli connections.

'Mubarak is going. He is on the cusp of final departure'
The old man is going.

'Tunisia Revolution not far from Arabs'
