This was an interesting website because it not only showed around thirty pictures of Egyptian graffiti, but it also gave you the option to click on other countries to see what their artists were doing. I think that this is important to see how Egyptian artists ideas, symbols and meanings translated over to other African countries.
This is Keizers home page, which included a lot of photos of his work, and more specific things like his inspiration, influences, media and design philosophy. I found it interesting that his design philosophy was, "visual imagery that is thought provoking,satire,awakening,open ended with an emphasis on universal threads and concepts that we share collectively as a race". Insinuating more emphasis on race than a country as a whole.

Aya Tarek is one of the most prominent street artists to come out of Egypt. I learned through her facebook posts that she does not want to be considered a feminist or activist, she solely wants to be known for her work.
This is the home page of an artist studio called Studio Emad Eddin. I read about the owner of the studio, Ahmed Al- Attar, in another article so I decided to look up his page. This studio is basically a place for Egyptian artists and performers to collaborate, train and perform and according to Al-Attar, strengthens Egyptians heritage and culture.
This article shows and explains a number of street artists views, murals, political cartoons and internet memes. This is one of the newer articles I have read because the backlash is centered mainly on Sisi and not Mubarek or the art from 2011 and Tahrir square.
This was an article that talked about how the Egyptian media, in particular the Al Kahera Wal Nas TV Network, was accusing the Finish artist Sampsa and Ganzeer of spreading terrorism through their street art and were part of the muslim brotherhood. Sampsa was forced to leave the country and Ganzeer was forced into hiding.
