A week in revolutionary Cairo
More than one year after the start of Egypt’s revolution, emotions run high and change is not always obvious. WRS’s Tony Ganzer follows a Swiss Egyptian back home to Cairo:
Dealing with Egypt's forgotten refugees
Friday, 9 March, 2012While much attention was focused on North Africa during the so-called Arab Spring, some effects of revolution were not so obvious. In Egypt, for example, refugees from Libya flooded over the border after a civil war and the death of former leader Muammar Gaddafi. However, Egypt also sees refugees from other parts of Africa. Dealing with it day to day is the UN’s Refugee Agency, the UNHCR. WRS’s Tony Ganzer went to the UNHCR office outside Cairo to hear how things are going:

Egypt's 'people have changed, the government hasn't'
Friday, 9 March, 2012Before leaving Cairo, WRS’s Tony Ganzer gathers the views of people across various sectors in Egypt, including those with organizations headquartered in Switzerland, to find out whether they think the country is on the right course:

Streets of Cairo less secure, but still a comfort
Thursday, 8 March, 2012Zurich social worker Hamed Selim has been in Switzerland more than 20 years. He is a Swiss-Egyptian, but says he still feels more Egyptian than Swiss, despite having a Swiss wife and children who have grown up here. WRS’s Tony Ganzer returned to Cairo with Selim, who takes us on a tour of his hometown as he surveys for himself how the revolution has changed it:

A bird's eye view of Egypt's revolution
Wednesday, 7 March, 2012Swiss-Egyptian social worker Hamed Selim lives in Zurich. He’s been here for over two decades now, but still goes back to support his family in Cairo with money and anything else they might need. This time his return comes more than one year after the country’s revolution. WRS’s Tony Ganzer heads with Selim to the roof of a building near Tahrir square where his family still lives, wih a bird’s eye view of the revolution:

Back home again in revolutionary Cairo
Tuesday, 6 March, 2012Imagine you’ve been living in Switzerland for more than 20 years, when news breaks that a revolution is underway in your home country—and only steps away from where your family is still living. That’s what happened to Zurich social worker Hamed Selim. A little over a year later, WRS’s Tony Ganzer returns with him to Cairo, to Tahrir Square, the heart of the revolution, and discovers that the people have taken the square back for themselves:

'We don't know who is manipulating whom' in Egypt
Monday, 5 March, 2012More than a year after Egypt’s revolution, the country is still finding its footing. Millions of Egyptians flooded into Cairo’s Tahrir square in January 2011, and subsequently all over the country, pressuring President Hosni Mubarak to step down. Since then, Egypt has been ruled by a controversial military council, and streets have sometimes been filled with violent clashes between security forces and protesters unhappy with the regime. Before heading to Cairo for a look at the situation on the ground, WRS’s Tony Ganzer stopped by a restaurant in Zurich where Swiss-Egyptians gather each week and found a group unanimously unsettled by politics and unrest in what used to be home:
