A year has passed since the uprising that ended the 30-year rule of Egypt's former president, Hosni Mubarak.

Human rights abuses are continuing and the animosity between pro-democracy activists and the Establishment is escalating.
Abdel El-Menawy is the former head of Egyptian television.
He helped draft Hosni Mubarak's final speech and has written a book detailing the final days of his rule.
