Yesterday was the second #tweetnadwa, with nadwa meaning “forum" in Arabic. The forum gathered Egyptian bloggers, activists and tweeters at Rawabet Theatre in downtown Cairo at 6:30 on the dot to discuss the history of activism in Egypt and whether and/or how it lead to the 25 January Revolution.
While the first #tweetnadwa focused on political Islam and the panel was mostly young Islamic activists and scholars, Tuesday's discussion brought young leftists to the panel, like prominent leftist activist Wael Khalil, aka @wael; activist and blogger Hossam El-Hamalawy @3arabawy; university activist Kholoud Saber @kholoudsaber and activist Asmaa Aly @Siimmaaa.
