Show Notes

A little over two years ago the long reign of autocrat Hosni Mubarak ended when tidal waves of protests in Cairo swept him from power. Egypt became a police state without any policemen. Mubarak’s democratically elected successor, Mohammed Morsi was dumped from office and arrested by Egypt’s generals just a few days ago. This time it was a presidential democracy without a president.

Here to talk to us about exactly what has happened over this short space of time; about how a country can perform a U-turn on such a grand scale,  is Tamir Moustafa -  Associate Professor at the School For International Studies, Simon Fraser University.
