Mohamed Moghazy will tell some stories about how the Egyptian revolution is
transforming life for people at every level. He will explain how the change
which is happening among individual people is crucial for making a genuine
transformation of Egyptian society.
Mohamed Moghazy will talk about how his group of Egyptian activists has
developed over the last 10 years. They have made progress by turning small
acts of refusal into a whole revolution. Not everything can be planned in a
rapidly changing situation, so they have needed to be flexible as they move
towards their goal of a non-militarised Egypt.
