Read moreDemocracy in Exile is the online journal of Democracy for the Arab World Now (DAWN). With a commitment to magnify the voices of political exiles and dissidents, we bring to light anti-democratic practices and human rights violations in the Middle East and North Africa and analyze social, political and cultural developments across the region.
In everything we publish, including news, analysis, opinion and interviews, we work to promote a new vision for the future of the Middle East and North Africa, featuring experts on, and exiles from, the region. We also cover issues related to democracy, human rights and the rule of law that otherwise would have been forgotten or overlooked.
