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 will be drawn from the region's immediate news, to keep as close as possible to what's happening.

"Egypt, Sudan: crossed revolts?"
The end of 2019 is marked by a multitude of popular uprisings in several Arab countries, with varying consequences. Egypt and Sudan are two examples of this dichotomy. These two neighboring countries have seen revolts of different kinds, but share strong similarities. In a difficult economic context, where corruption remains a daily challenge for both states, and prices of basic necessities are on the rise, both regimes have faced rejection movements within their populations. While the Sudanese uprisings severely shook the regime, the Egyptian demonstrations remained under control... How and why did these uprisings achieve such different results today?
