What can we learn from the failures and successes of revolutions in the Arab world over the last 10 years?

In 2011, we knew the transition to a democratic Libya would be complicated. Ten years on, we can see it was a failure.

Ten years on, the winds of change that brought us the Arab Spring have kept blowing, but not always in our favour.

Ten years on, the status quo in post-revolution countries has only had a change of clothes.

More than a year after the Sudanese revolution toppled al-Bashir, racism is still rampant in the country.

Billions of Brown and Black people have known restrictions, repression and deprivation all their lives.

The counter-revolution has struck and temporarily cleared the streets, but it has not broken the revolutionary spirit.
