The author provides some interesting insights on the current political scene in Egypt by examining Egyptian history since 1952.
While the 1952 Revolution crumbled with Nasser, it also had little hope of surviving him. By contrast, the January 25 Revolution, while possibly at one of its lowest points, is far from over. While the youth have been disempowered and overlooked by political forces, and former regime members and the Muslim Brotherhood still struggle for power, there has been a seismic shift in Egyptian society that has yet to end.
