In partnership with the Collège de France, France Culture, AFP and France Médias Monde, the Institut du Monde Arabe is launching a new event to decipher current affairs.
Connected to the flow of information, the Rendez-vous de l'actualité is a moment of deciphering, exchange and perspective for all, on the latest events in the Arab world. Set a few days before the event, the subject, question or event discussed will be taken from the region's immediate news, so as to be as close as possible to what's happening.
Rendez-vous de l'actualité in the Salle du Haut Conseil at the IMA on Thursday April 26, at 7pm:
"Egypt : what developments since the Arab Spring?"
In 2011, the Arab Spring, driven in particular by Egyptian youth, was a time of turmoil, dreams and hope that led to the fall of President Mubarak and the election of President Morsi, a member of the Muslim Brotherhood. President Morsi was eventually overthrown by the army. Now that the presidential elections have been held and President Sissi, with no real rival, has been re-elected for a second term, what conclusions can be drawn from Egypt's Arab Spring? What are the aspirations of young people? What political and social changes have taken place?
Debate moderated by Anthony Bellanger, journalist and international columnist for Les Inrocks and France Inter.
Speakers:
Stéphane Lacroix, political scientist and specialist in the Arab world
Leslie Piquemal, Doctor from the Institut d'études politiques de Paris
Christophe de Roquefeuil, AFP journalist
