The author has recently been in Egypt trying to gain some insights on the current political situation there. I am posting this because I think it important that we keep informed regarding events in this strategic country and I have great trust in her judgement and perceptions.
I cannot give an account of the complex political discussions taking place among activists and among the Egyptian. Instead, I am going to try to communicate the “spirit of Tahrir” as I witnessed it: festive, self-organized cautious, sharply political and ambitious.
