An extraordinary year in the Arab world

Tahrir Square, Cairo: a centre of revolution in 2011

This is the first of four brief selections of my writing published on Counterfire and Luna17 this year.

Today is widely regarded as marking one year of the Arab revolutions, so I begin with north Africa and the Middle East - including missives from my trips to occupied Palestine and post-revolutionary Cairo, and concluding with a substantial article on the progress of the revolutionary movements.
