    The second part of the article is coming soon, in which I discuss a brief history of racial capitalism in the US in relation to racialized policing.

    I wrote this article (in Arabic) for one of my favorite and most respected news outlet in Egypt and perhaps in the region . In the article I discuss the intersection of the pandemic, the election and the BLM uprising in the US.

    Powerful history that paved a way to the revolution in 2011. Unfortunately, such a seminar cannot exist in Egypt today.

    Swapping stories with my comrade today about Bahey El-Din Hassan. I was remembering old times and shared this picture with him. There's a lot of power sitting at this desk. And we have lost three of them since I took this in May 2005
