🧵1) Rinnovo la mia piena solidarietà alla competente collega @transit_star per la gogna social ricevuta ieri per un suo articolo sugli effetti del #neoliberismo in #Iran.
Mi permetto di dire due cose in merito al tema, perché mai come oggi è centrale per comprendere >>>

2) i meccanismi sociali all'interno dei paesi periferici, in particolare nei arabi o a maggioranza musulmana.
Ma prima alcune cose preliminari di approccio secondo me doverose.

3) il cd neo-orientalismo che tende a dividere tra civiltà (noi) e inciviltà (loro). Al di là dei luoghi comuni questo ha avuto due effetti: uno all'interno dei paesi dell'area e l'altro nella politica estera dei paesi occidentali. scienceopen.com/hosted-documen…
I love it how veteran American journalists are now re-discovering #Jordan after a decades-long absence and writing as if it is still 1980, 1991 or 1999.

It highlights a deep lack of understanding of how the #Jordan has evolved under the reign of King Abdullah.
No, East Bank tribes are no longer a monolith and neither are its leaders. A new political-economic elite have risen. Even balance of power in old institutions has shifted

People seem to also missing the point that the #Jordan opposition has been politically decimated or coopted.
There are no real political actors on the ground. Even social actors such as tribes have been divided (many say, on purpose by the state).

🇪🇬 En el día de su fundación, le vamos a hablar de la historia política del equipo Al Ahly, el club de los estudiantes patrióticos de #Egipto. 
Se fundó en 1907 por estudiantes egipcios patrióticos. Como su nombre significa "el nacional", fue el equipo que encarnó la rebelión contra la #colonización. Nació ante la falta de lugares de reunión para los líderes de los sindicatos estudiantiles de El Cairo.
Mucho de historia es reconocida por los titulos que gano: Tiene más de 100 títulos, es el máximo ganador de su país y de todo #África y posee el récord de victorias en la Liga de Campeones africana.
As I told @isacnn on CNN yesterday: 5 US presidents - GOP and Democrat - propped up the regime of dictator Hosni #Mubarak during his 30yrs of stealing from, torturing and holding #Egypt captive. And today: Trump calls Sisi “my favourite dictator.” US foreign policy is fucked
My reflections on the death of longtime dictator of #Egypt #Hosni Mubarak. 5 US presidents knew exactly what his regime was doing to Egypt and propped him up
Support for “friendly” dictators is BIPARTISAN in the US.
If you’re a dictator who does the bidding of the US, you’re an ally, not a dictator, a friend, no matter the crimes you commit against your people.

Bernie is RIGHT -there is a dictatorship in #China & #Cuba AND also to remind that the US has helped overthrow governments in #Chile and #Guatemala.
Biden is WRONG: Obama and four previous US presidents supported the authoritarian regime of #Mubarak in #Egypt

"The best way to remember Hosni #Mubarak is to know that he died at the age of 91, a free and rich man who spent 30 years of his life imprisoning, torturing, and stealing from #Egypt." I spoke to @isaCNN today
Here’s what I told CNN about #Mubarak’s legacy

And last bit on #Mubarak
I was 14 when Mubarak became president - he was vice president to the assassinated Anwar Sadat - and 44 when Mubarak was forced to step down after #Jan25 revolution. I was a Reuters correspondent in Cairo from 1993-1998 and covered Mubarak extensively. Some memories to follow
News outlets will give you the official obituaries: These are recollections of an Egyptian woman who left #Egypt in 1975, returned in 1988 and asked her uncles and aunts almost every day “Where is the revolution?” because of what #Mubarak and military rule had done to Egypt.
And when I became a journalist, I reported on the censorship - and was subjected to it - of the #Mubarak regime, its use of systematic torture via the drunk-on-power myriad security apparatuses he created, as well as - esp 2005 onwards - sexual violence vs protesters.
