Egypt's Military Raids Pro-Democracy Groups

Nearly a year after the start of the uprising that ousted Egyptian leader Hosni Mubarak, the country's military rulers raided the offices of domestic and international pro-democracy groups. We explore timing and the consequences.

Egyptian military rulers raided the offices of seven pro-democracy groups in Cairo last week, prompting rebukes from both domestic and international critics. Kojo explores the timing and the consequences of the raids, which come nearly a year after the anniversary of the uprising that led to president Hosni Mubarak's ouster.
