Is there any hope of solving the political deadlock on waste? Governor Whitman will address these questions, and more.
A conversation with Dr. Makram-Ebeid will be taking place on December 2nd from 12:30-13:30 on the latest developments in Egypt. Egypt is one of the major countries throughout the Middle East that has been struggling with the aftermath of the Arab Spring in 2011. The recent domestic political changes have indicated the country is at a critical juncture and is currently trying to find a suitable governing structure. With a population of 85 million people, a strategic geographic position in the region, a struggle against terrorists in Sinai, and as the second largest recipient of foreign aid from and close ally to the United States, Egypt is an important country to watch and closely monitor. The upcoming events in the country will determine the governing and democratic foundations of the country and set precedent for successive generations—and perhaps the wider region.
