I’m Hossam el-Hamalawy, an Egyptian journalist and scholar-activist based in Germany. My work focuses on Egypt’s military, security services, political economy, and counterrevolution.
I publish State & Barracks, a weekly newsletter examining the nexus of military power, money, and the state in Egypt. It features reporting, analysis, and military history, usually published twice a week.
