Al Jazeera's role in the Arab Spring
Arab Spring inspired millions but it was short-lived. In Egypt a coup by General - Abdel Fatah el Sisi overthrew the democratically elected Mohamad Morsi. In Syria -the fight between rebels and Assad gradually largely crushed the rebel resistance with Russian and Iranian firepower. Al Jazeera’s fortunes too shifted dramatically - Sisi banned the network in Egypt imprisoning its journalists. Now Egypt, backed by the UAE is demanding Qatar shutdown Al Jazeera. One of the top demands of the Saudi-led bloc.
