Four Thought - Ahdaf Soueif: The Egyptian Uprising
Download Ahdaf Soueif: The Egyptian Uprising
Egyptian author Ahdaf Soueif describes how the anti-Mubarak protests have allowed Egyptians to reconnect with thousands of years of history and regain their sense of self.
She describes a civilised and sophisticated protest which has shown Egyptians that they can rise above the divisions ascribed to them over the past 30 years. And she says whatever the outcome of the current political instability, this cultural change is permanent.
Producer: Giles Edwards.
