This year marks 10 years since the Arab Spring began as a protest movement in North Africa and the Middle East, transforming the region and ushering an era of social upheaval still with us today. Much of the anniversary-related commentary on the legacy of the Arab Spring fixates on how this challenge failed. We are told to look at Egypt, Tunisia, Algeria and especially Libya—things haven't changed, or they are much worse than before. But, the mistake of this diagnosis is its assumption that the historical process started by the Arab Spring is complete. We are still in the interregnum from which it started, https://www.sup.org/books/title/?id=22414 (and for Iranian-American scholar Asef Bayat), the Arab Spring typified the political mobilizations characteristic of the interregnum, what he calls the “non-movement”—“Non-movements refers to the collective actions of non-collective actors; they embody the shared practices of large numbers of ordinary people whose fragmented but similar activities trigger much social change, even though these practices are rarely guided by an ideology or recognizable leaderships and organizations.” For Bayat, the post-2008 outpouring of non-movements constitute https://www.sup.org/books/title/?id=26257 (“revolution without revolutionaries”)—but https://endnotes.org.uk/other_texts/en/endnotes-onward-barbarians (the journal Endnotes) turns this on its head, noting that instead, “we are witnessing the production of revolutionaries without revolution, as millions descend onto the streets and are transformed by their collective outpouring of rage and disgust, but without (yet) any coherent notion of transcending capitalism.” From the Arab Spring itself to moments like #FeesMustFall, the non-movement provides the organizational form for a disorganized age.  In this episode of AIAC Talk we explore how much longer the revolution will remain deferred, and are joined by https://twitter.com/NotNihal (Nihal El Aasar) and https://www.belfercenter.org/person/zachariah-mampilly (Zachariah Mampilly). Nihal is an Egyptian independent researcher currently based in London and Zachariah is the Marxe Endowed Chair of International Affairs at the Marxe School of Public and International Affairs at Baruch College, which is part of the City University of New York.

Peter and Ora welcome Erica Chenoweth from Harvard Kennedy School and Zachariah Mampilly from the Marxe School of International Affairs at Baruch College to discuss research ethics, including whether political scientists should have an individual and/or shared code of ethics, tough decisions about accepting funding from government and non-government institutions, and how to ethically engage with policymakers, the general public, and the individuals you are studying during field research.Producers: Harper Barbaree, John GehmanEditors: Hannah Jones, Garrett Madden, Gabriel Wallen, Lila Zarrella

American democracy had a very bad day on Wednesday. As images of rioters ransacking Capitol Hill shot across the globe, foreign leaders were quick to comment.“A ground rule of democracy is that after elections there are winners and losers. Both have their role to play with decency and responsibility so that democracy itself remains the winner."German Chancellor Angela MerkelGerman Chancellor Angela Merkel said the images out of Washington made her furious and sad.“A ground rule of democracy,” she said, “is that after elections there are winners and losers. Both have their role to play with decency and responsibility so that democracy itself remains the winner."Related: 'I fear for our democracy,' says Rep. Mondaire Jones in calling for Trump's removal A big news screen on a building in Essen, Germany, showing protesters on the US Capitol in Washington, a headline reads "Storm on the Capitol: Four dead — Joe Biden's victory now official," on Thursday, Jan. 7, 2021.  Credit: Martin Meissner/AP In France, President Emmanuel Macron offered a heartfelt defense of the American political system.“What happened today in Washington, DC, is not America. Definitely,” he said in a video message in English. “We believe in the strength of our democracies. We believe in the strength of American democracy.”  Copies of the French newspaper Le Monde headlining on the Capitol attack, Jan.7, 2021 in Paris.  Credit: Thibault Camus/AP Reactions came from all corners of the globe, including from Turkey, Venezuela and China. The common thread in their messages? As Josep Borrell Fontelles, high representative of the EU for foreign affairs put it, American democracy appeared under siege.“I think one of the key issues right now is potentially the death of American exceptionalism."Zachariah Mampilly, the Austin Marxe endowed chair of international affairs,  The City University of New York“I think one of the key issues right now is potentially the death of American exceptionalism,” said Zachariah Mampilly, the Austin Marxe endowed chair of international affairs at The City University of New York, and author of several books on uprisings in Africa.Related: In pictures: Trump loyalists storm US Capitol“The idea that the US is a uniquely democratic country that would not be prone to the types of actions that we witnessed yesterday [Wednesday].”Mampilly said for a long time, the US relied on the narrative of exceptionalism to promote democracy abroad. Yet, during his time working and researching in African countries, he heard a lot of skepticism about that.“Many African countries have experienced American interventionism that has long not adhered to the rhetoric of democracy that the US government deploys. So, there’s a sense of comeuppance right now in many parts of the world,” Mampilly said.In the city of Ramallah, in the West Bank, Salem Barahmeh was watching the riots play out in Washington with “a mix of amazement and horror.”Related: The world reacts to chaotic rampage at the US CapitolWhat immediately stood out to him was how different the police responded Wednesday compared to what he had seen over the summer with Black Lives Matter protests.“If those protesters were not white, they would have been arrested, beaten, hurt."Salem Barahmeh, head of the nongovernmental organization Palestine Institute for Public Diplomacy“If those protesters were not white, they would have been arrested, beaten, hurt,” said Barahmeh, who runs a nongovernmental organization called the Palestine Institute for Public Diplomacy.And Barahmeh said he could relate.“One thing that struck me was the parallel I felt in my own life as a Palestinian in Palestine, living under a system of segregation and also one where your freedom and rights are determined by your ethnonational identity,” he said.The images of policemen taking selfies with rioters were disturbing to Sandip Roy, a writer based Kolkata, India.Roy said he, too, watched in disbelief as rioters shattered windows at the Capitol and trashed lawmakers’ offices. At the same time, he said, the events of Wednesday should not have been all that surprising.“What has happened is that a certain kind of bigotry and hatred and violence has been mainstreamed and normalized. ... This was always part of the body politic in America but it was just not allowed to become mainstream.”Sandip Roy, writer, Kolkata, India“What has happened is that a certain kind of bigotry and hatred and violence has been mainstreamed and normalized,” Roy said. “This was always part of the body politic in America but it was just not allowed to become mainstream.”President Donald Trump has considerable support in India and according to Roy, in the aftermath of Wednesday’s events, some of his fans have kept silent but others have applauded the actions of the rioters in Washington.India, Roy added, has had its own share of discontent in recent months related to issues such as farmers' rights and citizenship for Muslims in the country.“Ironically, the same people [Trump’s fans] are quite aghast and shocked when farmers or protesters about a citizenship bill change for Muslims come to the Indian capital or do a kind of a hunger strike or block roads to press their demands,” Roy said.American democracy will make it through this troubling time, he said. But it’s high time for the country to examine its self-appointed role as the policeman of the world.Alfiaz Vaiya, a political adviser in the UK’s House of Lords, was taken aback by the “blasé and brazen” attitude of the mob, where “they could just break in very easily and just pose for pictures and commit these acts without any kind of worry or concern about consequences.”Vaiya described himself as “very pro-American” and said he has friends on both sides of the political spectrum and has spent time on Capitol Hill.That’s why, he said, he went to sleep on Wednesday worried and concerned.“Because this is the country that has dominated the political landscape since World War II, set the agenda, created these multilateral institutions [...] and I think last night was so sad. It represented to me a very worrying trend,” he said.Mélina Villeneuve in Manchester, England, said Wednesday’s events were “a lot to process.”Villeneuve describes herself as having French and Congolese heritage and runs an organization called Demilitarise Education. She used to live in Miami and said she feels culturally very attached to the US.“It was almost as if we were waiting for this to happen ever since Trump announced his candidacy [...] the pot seems like it’s been boiling for ages..."Melina Villeneuve, Demiliitarise Education“It was almost as if we were waiting for this to happen ever since Trump announced his candidacy [...] the pot seems like it’s been boiling for ages. I initially thought that the spillover from Trump’s presidency was the Black Lives Matter protests back in the summer. I actually think this was the spillover point,” she said.Like others interviewed for this piece, Villeneuve said it was difficult to watch the police use a different approach. “For me, personally, this cemented the fact that experiences with police will differ depending on what the color of your skin is,” she said.Barahmeh in the West Bank said he hopes this moment will make Americans reflect on their democracy and their role in promoting it across the globe.“It will require the US to take a very deep look at its institutions and the framework of its society and be humble about it and not always think it’s in a position to preach to the rest of the world about democracy,” Barahmeh said.Editor’s note: Due to an editing error, the broadcast version of this story that aired on Jan. 7 incorrectly referred to a tweet by German Chancellor Angela Merkel. The chancellor did not post that tweet and The World regrets the error.

What can we learn from how civil society in Africa responds to armed conflict?

In a Washington Post article titled, Recent protests in Sudan are much more than bread riots, Nisrin Elamin and Zachariah Mampilly, writes “On Dec. 19 2018, the town of Atbara in northeastern Sudan erupted in protest against the military dictatorship that has ruled the country for almost three decades. People took to the streets following a tripling of bread prices to demand “freedom, peace, justice and the downfall of the regime.” But international coverage framing the protests as bread riots obscures the larger political context, misrepresents protesters' demands and supports the regime's insistence that the crisis can be resolved by simply reintroducing targeted subsidies and stabilizing the Sudanese pound.” Let's contextualize this important moment in the African world that is directly related to the long tradition of protest and resistance in the region referred to as Sudan further. According to Nisrin and Zachariah, “It is no coincidence that the protests began in Atbara, a town known for its powerful railroad workers union. Sudan has a history of successful revolutions against military regimes, most notably in 1964 and in 1985, in which trade unions and student movements played a pivotal role. But the absence of formal trade unions and independent local governing structures did not prevent people from forming alternative grass-roots structures for mobilizing against political repression. Youth movements and independent farmer and worker formations multiplied over the last decade as people lost faith in established opposition parties and politics. Most notably, from 2012 to 2014, students and the urban poor held a variety of creative protests before being repressed by the regime.With the oil-export economy emerging in the 1990s, other sectors that produced food and cash crops were left to wither away or were privatized and handed off to foreign investors or regime loyalists. All in all, the conditions that spurred the current Sudan uprisings, were proliferated and promoted by austerity measures recommended by the IMF in 2017 (known as structural adjustment programs). Today, Africa World Now Project's Mwiza Munthali discusses the uprisings in Sudan with Nisrin Elamin. Nisrin Elamin is a Sudanese writer, activist and PhD candidate in Anthropology, based in the New York City area. She has over 15 years of experience working with community-based organizations as an educator, organizer and advocate. Most recently, she served as a Director of the Sadie Nash Leadership Project's summer leadership and social justice program for young women and non-binary folks at City College. She also works part-time with the group African Communities Together, which organizes around immigrant, civil and workers' rights in New York and in Washington DC. Her research examines the ways Saudi and Emirati ‘land grabs' are reconfiguring social relations between landholding and landless communities in central Sudan. In January of 2017, she was one of the first people to be detained under the Trump administration's Muslim ban, causing her work to be interrupted. But since then, she has been able to return to Sudan to complete her research.
