Afuwa kasule/ Mayimuna/ Edward Mo Irundrua/ Semuwemba/ Frank Mujabi,
If you have time, listen to this interview with a woman, who is probably representative of much of Egypt's middle classes. I have already written on the Arab Spring, how it was started by socialists, but was quickly taken over by fundamentalist Islamists and completely subverted, leaving a more compliant fascist dictatorship in its place.
Now the Egyptians are asking themselves why they allowed the sheikhs and Imams to take over what should have been a glorious movement of the people? They are also questioning the right-wing and fundamentalist move that was infused into the Arab Spring, witnessed by a permissive conservatism and even more brutal oppression of women , who previously had some liberty under Mubarak- Egyptian society began to move backwards, and more towards the Saudi model, with women all covered up and very few on the streets.
But this is being challenged now- so a new struggle is building up in Egypt and in much of the muslim world, which will challenge the right wing drift that has put conservative fundamentalist imams in the forefront of social movements in these societies, when in fact they should be at the back or in fact nowhere near these struggles.
