Info

When the Egyptians rose up against the dictatorship of President Hosni Mubarak, the whole world stood united behind them. After the revolution, however, unpleasant images began to push to the forefront. Bloody fights between the supporters of democracy and the Sunni-Islamist Muslim Brotherhood were to decide Egypt's future. Moises Saman reports for the Süddeutsche Zeitung Magazin from the slums of Cairo.
