Shady el-Ghazaly Harb says the dream of the Arab Spring is still alive in the hearts and minds of Egyptians today. Monday marks the 10th anniversary of when Egyptians first gathered en masse in Cairo's Tahrir Square to demand political change. It was part of a wave of uprisings across the Middle East known collectively as the Arab Spring. Harb, a surgeon in Cairo, was one of those protesters in Tahrir Square in 2011, and he later paid the price alone in an Egyptian prison. And then maybe we will see a political atmosphere that gives us some young political leaders who can lead Egypt to the future.
