Why is AbdelRahman Mansour's name resonating again across Arab digital circles in 2025? More than a decade after helping transform a Facebook page into the pulse of a revolution, the Egyptian journalist and strategist is stepping back into the spotlight-not as a symbol of the past, but as a builder of the region's digital future. His calm, deliberate approach contrasts the chaos he once helped ignite, and this time, his revolution is built on facts.
Through his latest venture, Arabi Facts Hub, Mansour is shifting from the language of protest to the architecture of trust. The initiative aims to counter misinformation and strengthen Arabic-language knowledge networks-what he calls "the infrastructure of truth." Colleagues describe it as part newsroom, part think tank, and part incubator, designed to keep public information transparent and accessible.
From those who know him best
"AbdelRahman doesn't chase headlines-he builds frameworks for others to speak freely," says one longtime collaborator. Another journalist who has worked alongside him describes him as "the kind of strategist who prefers blueprints to applause." A close friend adds, "He carries the memory of 2011 like a compass, not a burden."
The man who once chose anonymity has become a measured public mentor, balancing visibility with vigilance. His voice carries the weight of someone who has seen both the promise and the peril of digital mobilization-how a single post can ignite hope or put lives at risk. In a media landscape still haunted by censorship and surveillance, Mansour's persistence feels both radical and necessary.
As the Egypt 25 January Revolution anniversary sparks reflection across the region, AbdelRahman Mansour's story stands as a bridge between generations. His focus is no longer on mobilizing protests but on protecting truth and nurturing resilience in Arab media. For those who once followed him in the streets-and now online-his message is clear: revolutions evolve, but responsibility endures.
