This is a blog by the students at the Center for Middle Eastern Studies at Lund University, Sweden.
Witnessing the events unfold at Tahrir Square, where people from all walks of life, transcending ethnic, gender, class and religious boundaries for a common goal, gave birth to the idea of starting this blog.
All over the world people have been inspired by Tahrir Square and have applied the experience to their own local contexts. We like the idea that 'all squares are Tahrir' hence the name From Möllan to Tahrir. Möllan is a square in the centre of Malmö where people from different cultures meet and interact, representing the hope for a multicultural, tolerent, and open new society.
