Post-Revolutionary Developments in the Middle East and North Africa

As I will be turning my attention to other matters for a bit, I thought to make available some links essential to following developments related to the quest for democracy and social justice in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). I’ve not included well-known mass media sources (e.g., Guardian, Huffington Post, The New York Times…). While this list is far from complete, I suspect it will suffice for most purposes, as many of these sites contain further links that are also helpful. Let me know in the comments of any other links you deem “indispensable” and I’ll consider adding them.
