The Compass

World Service, 8.06pm

It’s the final part of this

moving and personal look

back at the Arab Spring

revolutions that swept across

the Middle East and North

Africa. The anthropologist

and TV presenter Ella

Al-Shamahi, right, and her

brother Abubakr, who was

in his final year of university

in 2011 and witnessed the

revolutions, look to the

future and speak to activists

involved in the uprising’s

supposed “Second Wave”.

We hear about the recent

protests in Sudan and Algeria,

where people have been

taking to the streets again to

demand freedom, change and

democracy. And is there any

hope for Syria? Ben Dowell
