Omar Mostafa, who is a scholar of international relations based in the United States, authored the article titled the new shape of the struggle in Egypt, in 2011. Omar is a known scholar specializing in giving views on global affairs, especially in relation to the Arab world, including the Middle East. He has published articles with the international socialist review, which is an organization known for producing articles with a socialist perspective. Omar is an author of several articles that talk about the ongoing Arab springs and he mainly believes that the main cause of conflicts in various countries in North African and the Middle East is class differences. In summary, the article presents some of the main causes of the Egyptian conflicts that shocked the entire world given the fact that the country was developing at a very high rate.

Finally, he looks at the effects of the May 27 revolt on the political and economic organization of the country.
