• Egypt: Dancing revolution
  11 July 2013, by siawi3

  “If I can’t dance....” Emma Goldman

  Dance has always been a lightning conductor for religious and moral attitudes. Fundamentalists of many schools and cultures have condemned it as the expression of humanity’s baser, more turbulent and sinful self.

• Egypt: Don’t miss the wood for the trees
  11 July 2013, by siawi3

  The entire debate on the dramatic events in Egypt this last week is now centred on the military intervention that has occurred on the side of the protestors. Both right wingers and liberals focus almost exclusively on the temporary intervention of the military and fail to see the much bigger story. The bigger story, in my view, is the large-scale rejection of political Islam. If this rejection of political Islam catches on in the Muslim world, it can lead to a complete historical ideological shift, destroying all remnants of semi-medieval thinking and opening the doors to progressive development.

• Egypt: Not a crisis or a coup: the people’s revolution
  11 July 2013, by siawi3

  Thirty four millions men and women went out into the streets and squares. They were determined to topple the religious government under the control of the Muslim Brothers as well as all who support them at home and abroad. They wanted to expel all who use religion for economic and political gain and to oust Morsi.

• Egypte : « La révolution n’a pas changé le pouvoir, elle a changé le peuple. »

  « Il est important de replacer l’islam politique dans ce cadre : il est utile et nécessaire pour la soumission des peuples de la région. »

• USA: ’Organization is the weapon of the oppressed’ - Ferguson, mobilization and organizing the resistance
  12 September 2014, by siawi3

  It is impossible to fight capitalist exploitation, police violence, the oppression of women, white supremacy, homophobia and other forms of dehumanization outside of collective action and organised structures - organisations and movements. We must organise – not just mobilise.

• France : Que faire ? Révolution ou révélation, il va falloir choisir !
  12 septembre 2014, par siawi3

  « Ils ne cherchent pas une révolution, mais une révélation » disait Saul Alinsky, dans Rules for radicals, des militants qui veulent des changements rapides et spectaculaires via leur passion pour les grands leaders charismatiques, le romantisme révolutionnaire et les dogmes messianiques. Alinsky propose de combattre 5 plaies grâce à 5 principes ...

• Sudan - women at the heart of mobilizations
  19 June 2019, by siawi3

  The level of women’s participation and their role in organizing daily struggles is unprecedented in the country’s history.

• Egypt: Linking women’s struggle with social movements
  4 December 2013, by siawi3

  Despite hopes that women would be one of the prime beneficiaries of the Arab Spring, they have instead been some of the biggest losers, as the revolts have brought conflict, instability, displacement and a rise in Islamist groups in many parts of the region“. As the miserable poll results show, we women need a double revolution, one against the various dictators who’ve ruined our countries and the other against a toxic mix of culture and religion that ruin our lives as women.” “There is something about the economic and political ideology ruling the world that is against women, that is patriarchal, and is against many of the values we fight for.”
  It’s an instructive lesson for a fragmented left; we may have differences in strategy, in outlook, in belief. At times these differences need to be aired openly - but we have one crucial task at hand, to unite around issues that strike a chord with millions of ordinary people.

• France : Femen : notre engagement
  18 mars 2015, par siawi3

  Il est temps de ne plus être complices par notre silence de ceux qui ont pris pour cibles les libres penseurs, parleurs, dessinateurs, de Charlie Hebdo ou d’ailleurs. Il est temps de montrer combien nous sommes. Soyons la résistance !

• La crise croisée du printemps arabe : L’équation de l’homo politicus et de l’homo religiosus
  30 octobre 2013, par siawi3

  Le printemps arabe a commencé le traitement d’une des questions les plus délicates et les plus controversées de la pensée arabe contemporaine, à savoir la relation entre religion et politique. Cette thématique pourrait laisser entendre que le mouvement révolutionnaire pense la politique à partir de la tradition, par exemple sous la forme du transfert de concepts théologiques vers le fait politique ou de la nationalisation, voire de la naturalisation, d’une doctrine religieuse. Tel n’est évidemment pas le cas parce qu’une telle équation serait irréaliste.
