Do you think you caught a good representation of Egyptian entrepreneurial society?
Most Egyptians I know have given up on Egyptian society and politics following the Sisi led coup and now see their future either outside of Egypt or within the 'internet culture'.
In many ways, Sisi indicates to the youth that the democratic system doesn't work in Egypt and that the only way to survive is to leave.
Disrupting society online carries it's own risks under the military government (i.e. disappearing.)
What are your thoughts?
- kerningcultures 11y agoThis is an incredibly complex topic. Believe me, most of my Egyptian friends and family will wax poetic of the same difficulties and desire to leave/ have already left. There's no way to do a response justice in a post, but we are working as we speak on episode about brain drain from Egypt in attempt to make sense of the complexities. Would love you input, if you'd like to be involved: hebah [at] kerningcultures.com
