Some Present-day Uprisings and Revolutions:

Egypt
There are many and varied websites, publications and even views on the Egyptian Revolution. There will be views about the Arab Spring, whether it even really happened, and conspiracy theories about Western influence in the region. With the political and economic situation in North Africa and the Middle East, one will find it difficult to find an objective view. Therefore, one must use sources from different geographical areas and time periods, (a view in 2011 may be more positive than 2014 for example).
