Mostafa Hussein Omar<a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/FreeAlaa" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FreeAlaa</a> in 2025 <a href="https://moftasa.net/freealaa-2025" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://moftasa.net/freealaa-2025</a><a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/Jan25" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Jan25</a>

b9AcE<a href="https://mastodon.ie/@Ciela" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@Ciela</a> I have been avoiding AJ since 2014 sometime when their editorial board was switched out by the regime to reflect the regime's interests more and derailed the <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/jan25" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#jan25</a> revolution away from freedom and equality.

b9AcE<a href="https://possum.city/@mook" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@mook</a> Yep. The original revolutionary uprisings to the south cited as inspiration for rising against al-Assad at the time to be two, the then still secular, liberatory, egalitarian, etc <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/jan25" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#jan25</a> revolution in Egypt and the already having risen northern parts of Syria which then became known as Rojava. They were the same revolution, until the political leadership came back from their founding meeting in Ankara with the orders from Turkey that they could get weapons and other support but only if they would separate from the Kurd, Syriac, Armenian, etc revolutionaries and fight them instead, which they unfortunately did and eventually became de facto just auxiliaries of, an extension to, Turkey's later imperialist annexation invasion of Syria e.g. taking Turkey's order to abandon the south to move to the NW of Syria instead. I consider those that did to have ≈0 to do with the original Syrian Revolution. Those who refused to give up on the original ideas, like the Army of Revolutionaries and others, instead joined the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF). There has for >1 year been an uprising in al-Suwayda in southern Syria which has the same ideals as the original Syrian Revolution and they have started building ties to autonomous North and East Syria ("Rojava"), which is the path I hope for.

Jan Wildeboer 😷:krulorange:Pictures I took at Tahrir in Cairo, December 2011. Yes, I was AT Tahrir, not just outside of it or on the rooftop bar of the Hilton hotel, where the international journalists were. I was invited as speaker at a government sponsored conference on <a href="https://social.wildeboer.net/tags/OpenSoucre" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OpenSoucre</a> in <a href="https://social.wildeboer.net/tags/Egypt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Egypt</a>, MEAOSS. And somehow I ended up at the protests.

Sherifa ZuhurNancy Okail: Here's to brave camaraderie on another anniversary of the Egyptian revolution ✊🏽 To those who fought against injustice then & continue the fight it now in Egypt, Palestine, and beyond. To those who paid a high cost but understand the price is greater if we ever stop.

b9AcEThe "Ultras White Knights" football ("soccer" to some) ultras-fans of the "Zamalek" team are famous for being the main physical defenders of the initial liberatory and egalitarian <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/jan25" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#jan25</a> revolution's main location Cairo, before it was usurped by the "Muslim Brotherhood" in spite of promising not to in order to be allowed on the protest squares.In apparent political retaliation the later military coup dictatorship's police targeted the Zamalek fans several times but most notably at a stadium in 2015 causing 20 deaths, then accused the fans of killing... themselves, leading to the imprisonment of the "Ultras White Knights"-leader Sayed Moshagheb.Now, after 7 years, scheduled for release soon. <a href="https://www.madamasr.com/en/2023/12/26/news/u/ultras-white-knights-leader-sayed-moshagheb-soon-to-be-released-says-lawyer/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.madamasr.com/en/2023/12/26/news/u/ultras-white-knights-leader-sayed-moshagheb-soon-to-be-released-says-lawyer/</a>Keep your eyes on this, as it is not unlikely the regime will keep persecuting.I have never been a fan of any sports team, but I have been a fan of the Ultras White Knights and of the ÇⒶRŞI Ultras (main physical defenders of the Occupy Gezi protests for freedom, equality and ecology throughout areas mainly called Turkey).

b9AcE<a href="https://kolektiva.social/@JizzelEtBass" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@JizzelEtBass</a> USA doesn't really have State-owned media internally, only RFE/RL/VoA which are aimed externally as they share their roots with and were until not that long ago funded through the CIA instead of as now a an independent government agency, so full equivalents of e.g. PressTV or TRT do not exist, but the USA also has a documented history of close collaboration between the most major news-outlets internally and government spy agencies, even in some cases documented as having put "liaison staff" at some (I think it was NYT and WaPo, but I may misremember).As for al-Jazeera, they built up an excellent reputation through the years 2002 to 2013, but the editorial board was then changed by decree to people pushing the Qatari regime's external agendas, which was the most immediately visible for the <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/jan25" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#jan25</a> liberatory, egalitarian and secular revolution that was still ongoing at the time but AJ then sharply switched to first supporting the "Muslim" Brotherhood's betrayal and usurpation of the revolution, then the military coup which lead to the current dictatorship, while entirely ignoring the third "People's Square", which were the original socialists and allies.I would very strongly avoid all of those listed, with possible extremely rare exceptions, depending on what that content is.

Caroline LucasToday is 12 years since revolutionary protests toppled old Egyptian regime.

أحب البحر(We never forget)The 2011 Egyptian revolution, also known as the 25 January revolution (Arabic: ثورة ٢٥ يناير; Thawrat khamsa wa-ʿišrūn yanāyir), began on 25 January 2011 and spread across Egypt. The date was set by various youth groups to coincide with the annual Egyptian "Police holiday" as a statement against increasing police brutality during the last few years of Hosni Mubarak's presidency. <a href="https://bildung.social/tags/egypt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#egypt</a> <a href="https://bildung.social/tags/jan25" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#jan25</a> Photo: Mona, ccbysa 2.0 <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011_Egyptian_revolution" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011_Egyptian_revolution</a>

b9AcEWe live in a time when we can say "I have seen several revolutions" and I have remotely directly participated in some (e.g. sending tips which were implemented by the <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/jan25" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#jan25</a> revolution in Egypt as well as elsewhere) but I genuinely feel like the current revolution against the Iran-regime is the most promising of longterm revolutionary impact and the most excellent solidarity I have seen in my current memory.It is, as of now, what I hoped the Tunisian revolution of 2011 would be when it created a "council for the defence of the revolution", before the politicians returned from exile to ruin it all. I hope, I hope, I hope.To quote Elefteriya Hambi from Germany, in the YPJ of Rojava (North and East Syria):
