You didn't remember Den Van Boo?

No!

The same thing happened in Algeria, in Africa.

They didn't have anything but a rank.

The French had all these highly mechanized instruments of warfare, but they put some guerrilla action on.

Hello and welcome to Gorilla History, the podcast that acts as a reconnaissance report of global proletarian history and aims to use the lessons of history to analyze the present. I'm one of your

co-hosts, Henry Huckimacki, joined as usual by my co-host Professor Adnan Hussein, who of course is a

historian and director of the School of Religion at Queen's University in Ontario, Canada. Hello,

Adnan. How are you doing today? I'm doing well, Henan. It's great to be with you. Yeah, nice to see you as well.

Really looking forward to the conversation that we have planned. And it's a really fascinating

conversation coming up. It was a lot of fun doing the research to prepare for this episode.

And we have a terrific guest. But before I introduce the guest, I would like to remind the listeners that they can help support the show and allow us to continue making episodes like this by going to patreon.com forward slash guerrilla history. That's G-U-E-R-R-I-L-A history. And you can keep up to date with everything that we're doing by going and following us on social media. We're on Twitter at Gorilla underscore Pod. That's G-U-E-R-R-I-L-A underscore pod. Instagram, Gorilla underscore History. And we're also on Substack. You can sign up to our free newsletter to keep up to date with some of the things we're doing by going to GorillaH history. Dot substack.com. And I remember, gorilla is spelled with two R's.

Now, one last thing before I introduce the guest, and that is to say that this is a case study

in our ongoing African Revolutions and Decolonization Series. So if you have not been tuning

in to the previous installments of African revolutions and

decolonization, I highly recommend that you go back and listen to those, if not before this

episode, then after, because again, we're taking a very wide swath of history and a wide

swath geographically and many different movements that took place across the continent.

And so you'll want to not miss anything. Today we're going to be taking a case study of the

Egyptian Revolution. And we have our guest, Professor Ahmed Shokh, on today to talk with us.

Professor, it's nice to have you on the show. How are you doing today?

I'm doing very well. Thank you, Henry. Absolutely. So the professor is a professor of history
