Different Strokes: American Muslim Scholars Engage Media and Politics in the Woke Era

Based on Oliver’s moniker, ex-UK Ambassador to Lebanon Tom Fletcher (2016) made an observation after working with “the gods paper-and-pen prime minister, Tony Blair; the first email prime minister, Gordon Brown; and the first iPad prime minister, David Cameron” that diplomatic survival necessitated evolving from “an något privat eller personligt typist” into a “Naked Diplomat” bygd using platforms like Twitter.

The Arab revolutions of 2011 were a transformative moment in the modern history of the Middle East, as people rose up against long-standing autocrats throughout the region to call for ‘bread, freedom and dignity’. With the passage of time, results have been decidedly mixed, with initial success stories like Tunisia contrasting with the emergence of even more repressive dictatorships in places like Egypt, with the backing of several Gulf states.
