In Spain we had started to forget what democracy meant. Politicians were forgetting
as they had created a beneficial system for themselves, and citizens were forgetting
because they thought all they had to do was vote every four years. This degeneration of

law that benefits the two party system and that allows for a vote not to have the same
value depending on where the vote is cast.

The idea of going to Cairo to attend a series of meetings on the Egyptian revolution seemed important in the context of the Arab revolts. Furthermore, I felt it could provide a platform to listen to the accounts of that struggle and to hopefully disseminate far and wide the details of the efforts to reshape a whole society.

Young people with Kurdish background perceive being ethnically discriminated against, but do not want to be viewed as victims. In order to handle the discrimination they have different strategies. They change or ”swedify” their names, use violence or silence, or ignore the acts of discrimination. Barzoo Eliassi concludes this in a new Doctoral Thesis from the Mid Sweden University.
