Making Contact

Making Contact – Who Won the Egyptian Revolution?

In February a mass movement overthrew the hated dictatorship of Hosni Mubarak in Egypt. But a military council now rules the country. Critics say the new regime has kept much of Mubarak’s repressive apparatus. Meanwhile extremist Islamist groups are pressuring the government to adopt undemocratic, right-wing policies. On this edition, independent producer Reese Erlich brings you this special report “Who Won the Egyptian Revolution?”

 

Reese Erlich received a grant from the Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting for his reporting in Egypt.
