🎧 This episode dives into Workers on the Road to January, a fierce, moving account of the strikes that shook Mahalla and set the stage for Egypt’s 2011 uprising. Through the voices of Wedad, Amal, Wael, Kamal, and thousands of workers who refused humiliation, the book reveals the true architects of dissent: people fighting on factory floors, chanting in cold dawn air, demanding dignity in a system designed to starve them. It’s a story of courage, weariness, betrayal, and unbreakable resolve—a reminder that revolutions don’t begin in headlines, but in the hands of those who keep a nation alive.
