The Deception of the Arab Spring

by Amjad Taha

The Middle East is rapidly changing. Revolutionary change can only be rewarding in times of peace, otherwise becomes a tool in the wrong hands and turns hopes of positive social progression into living nightmares—a valuable lesson learnt from the Arab Spring.Geopolitical issues are escalating at a rapid pace; every delay in countering Iran via legal international confrontation rather than toothless local condemnations is deemed a lethal failure. As long as the eastern neighbor is on the move, so should we be for when we stop, we fall.

Amjad Tahar is a UAE-based Middle East expert, analyst, author and commentator. He is highly respected internationally. His non-fiction book, The Deception of the Arab Spring was published in 2024 after the dust had settled on the so-called Arab Spring. Using meticulous research, the author dives deep into the history of the Arab Spring, how it unfolded and how it was used by the terrorist organisation, the Muslim Brotherhood to further its own agenda in the Middle East. The book is short, just 108 pages in the hard copy edition but it is couched in impeccable prose that is easy to read and to understand. Most of all it is an enlightening look at a period of exceptional importance to the Middle East and to the world. But the underlying message is one of hope. If only the world will listen.
