2010s, Nobel Prize winner highlights women’s role in Arab Spring (2011)

“The most important pretext for the ousting of President Morsi was the existence of division in Egypt…. My support for the 30 June movement in opposition to Morsi changed after the military coup, which went against all the gains and values of the 25 January revolution…Clearly, the leaders of the military takeover have something to conceal from the watchful eyes of the world…. I now feel I have a responsibility to warn the world of the fact that a fully fledged despotic regime is seeking to reinforce its foundations in the country.”

2010s, Democracy Now! interview (2011)

“American intervention in Yemen is a product of the war on terror…Because American security was given priority over all other concerns, counterterrorism agencies paid no attention to the human rights abuses being committed by their local partners…Because America has invested so heavily in Yemen’s security forces, it now seems that a transition to democracy will depend on whether Washington believes that investment will remain secure…Sadly, it seems likely that the United States will support figures from the old regime rather than allow a transitional government approved by the people to take control”

“…my people are facing difficulties. They are being killed in the streets. They are on the sidewalks for almost nine months now. As you know, they own more than 70 million machine guns. That’s their personal weapons…Personally, I’m not protected, because my people are not protected. And therefore, the international community have to provide protection, and the United States of America, as well. They have to take a clear stance with the Yemeni people.”

“What unites us in the Youth Revolution Council is the desire to oust the regime… We do not ask the members of the Council or of the Preparatory Committee about their source of authority, nor about their political, geographic, or sectarian affiliation… In this revolution, I have forgotten my partisan and geographic affiliations… I belong only to the people of the revolution. The revolution is a glorious [cause] that stands above any consideration.”

“Speaking of the report, I want to say that there are three key innovations of this report compared to the Millennium Development Goals. First, the call for civil and political rights combined with transparent and accountable public institutions as intrinsic to development. Second, the importance of ensuring peace and inclusive sustainable growth. And third, a need for urgent action to enhance the ability of women and youth, like you, to take part in the transformation of their societies.”
