    Could social media help build another uprising soon? Supporters of President Abdel Fattah El Sisi often claim that Egyptian internet activists are powerless and disconnected from reality. They say that activists are living in their own virtual bubble; however, recent incidents suggest otherwise. When the 'Arab Spring' began in 2011, the role social media played was undeniable.

    This article offers a differing perspective than most, stating that social media was more of a contributing factor in the middle eastern revolutions rather than "the driving force." Another interesting aspect of this article is the fact that it was written very recently. I think it's interesting how the difference of opinion over time on how social media has impacted and is continuing to impact revolutions in this area.

    The head of the UN Mission in Libya, Martin Kobler, announced that the newly established unity government, that Kobler helped broker, would be installed in Tripoli in days. This comes after 5 years of a formal governmental void that has helped Libya become a haven for militant and terror groups. This has also led many Libyans to attempt to flee to Europe, increasing security fears among those who believe these refugees might be infiltrated by ISIS.

    There's no doubt that the citizenry relied greatly on social media to network and organize during the Arab Spring, when areas in the Middle East and North Africa erupted in popular revolt during the early part of 2011. Platforms like Facebook and Twitter were used to call and coordinate protests, and also for sharing information on issues around the pro-democracy movement.
