Protesters in Algeria are setting pictures of President Bouteflika on fire. Protesters in Sudan have vowed not to stop until Bashir is removed. Egyptians are tweeting "we'll return to Tahrir". Meanwhile a rare call to protest in Saudi Arabia has been declared.
Round 2 may already be here. The dictators have learned, but so did the people.

A protest in Damanhour, Egypt. March 1st (today).
No indication of date on this one from Algeria. The first sign to the left reads that most feared of slogans: "The People Demand the Downfall of the Regime".
Protests in Algiers are *massive*.
A journalists' protest in Sudan yesterday. Sudanese protests are so badass! No wonder I wanted to be Sudanese when I was a teenager

ALERT: The Saudi regime has finished extracting forced confessions under severe physical and psychological torture of the women's rights activists arrested last May. Now that they have the forced confessions, they declare they're ready to proceed to trial.
Retweet, for the love of God, retweet. The news cycle is all about Trump - well this is one of his sins. MBS could only do this because Trump protects him.
For more about the women's rights activists and their arrest, this is a short audio alert we put out in May. "The Saudi Regime Declares War on Women's Rights Activism" soundcloud.com/arabtyrantmanu…

That's an excellent question and one that didn't escape UBI theorists - we actually have a piece in our pipeline about this, and it also covers the (actually very old) new idea of a wealth tax.
In the meanwhile, do listen to our podcast episodes in which we talk about the rentier economic model and its political implications: "The Catch-22 of Arab economic reform" with @weddady soundcloud.com/arabtyrantmanu…
You could also listen to our inaugural episode, which was a deep dive into Saudi reforms (long before MBS was widely acknowledged to be a problem). Yup, we called it in 2017 (actually 2016). soundcloud.com/arabtyrantmanu…

Thread: As a refugee advocate & doing my radio program 'Voices of Eritrean Refugees' since 2008, I have met many refugees whose stories has given me many sleepless nights and had me often question humanity. I will try to share as many stories as I can.
#InternationalMigrantsDay
1, Keshi Okbay (Priest Okbay) was a 36 years old man, comes from a very rural area in #Eritrea. After serving in the military service for many years he decided to leave the country and made it to #Sudan, he was then kidnapped at the border by a group of Rashida
1/1, they took him to a house and there he met 28 other kidnapped Eritrean refugees in they chained all 29 together and put them in a pick up truck and covered them with blankets and started driving. After 13 days they arrived in Sinai and sold the group at an auction.

#President @realDonaldTrump's words, whether you accept his apology and his explanation, do not comport with his actions and his foreign policy toward #Russia. He has been one of the hardest presidents on Russia in recent memory.

#Trump #IntelligenceCommunity #Collusion
Where was the outrage when @BarackObama told Medvedev to inform #Putin "After my election I have more flexibility,"? I think much of the outrage being expressed- especially by #Republicans- is politically motivated.

#Trump #IntelligenceCommunity #Collusion #Russia
However, what @realDonaldTrump said was not right. It DID undermine our #IntelligenceCommunity, and it was a mistake. He has since corrected it and walked it back.
