Egypt in Transition

As Egypt's revolutionary process derails, a myriad of political actors are struggling to form a new consensus about how to resolve the current political crisis and start rebuilding the state. The country's uprising gave birth to a new generation of leaders that are working to seize this transformative moment to redefine their country. 

The New America Foundation's Middle East Task Force hosted this conversation with two prominent members of Egypt's civil society. We will discuss the turmoil facing Egypt, the upcoming legislative elections, next steps for the "youth of Tahrir," and Egypt's future trajectory.
