Nine years after the glorious Egyptian uprising on #Jan25, I wish to remind that revolution is far deeper than protests. Mobilization is not the start of uprising. The origin of revolution is to be found in a broken social contract.
The MENA is a region of nearly 700 million people, living under regimes who have a severe and prolonged legitimacy crisis. Every regime thinks it can win by repressing more, as if repression can make it legitimate again.
History tells us that doesn't work. And more history lays ahead of us.
