From Soweto To Tahrir Square - Mamdani

A brilliant piece by one of Africa's foremost political scientists, Uganda's Mahmood Mamdani, develops a new reading of recent events in Egypt and how they connect to the rest of Africa. This is a truly Africentric reading that flies in the face of much of the analyses that is being done by the Western media and pundits. The events of Tahrir Square is linked to another event of similar magnitude that took place in Soweto in 1976. Read the piece here.
