Ahmed Maher (co-founder, April 6 Youth Movement) — quoted in the Carnegie Endowment April 6 backgrounder: the Tunisian uprising "led us to think about protesting against corruption, poverty and unemployment."

led us to think about protesting against corruption, poverty and unemployment

[Source is English (Carnegie Endowment for International Peace — a reputable think tank — backgrounder on the April 6 Youth Movement, quoting Maher directly and by name); tier-2, confirmed verbatim. The quoted fragment follows Carnegie's lead-in that "the example of Tunisia" led them to act; Maher may have spoken Arabic and this is the rendering published by Carnegie. published_date left NULL: Carnegie's page metadata states 22 September 2010, but the page was UPDATED after February 2011 (it describes Mubarak's fall), and this quote — about the December-2010/January-2011 Tunisian uprising inspiring them — dates to early 2011, NOT 2010; the exact date is not established (not fabricated). NOTE: a separate "peaceful resistance is over" quote on the same page belongs to Mohamad Adel, NOT Maher, and is excluded.] Declared position of Ahmed Maher — a co-founder and the most prominent public face of Egypt's April 6 Youth Movement, the secular, internet-organized (Facebook/Twitter) youth movement that began in 2008 in solidarity with striking Mahalla textile workers and went on to help organize the 25 January 2011 protests that sparked the uprising against Hosni Mubarak. Maher framed the movement's founding impulse — inspired by Tunisia's overthrow of Ben Ali — as a fight against "corruption, poverty and unemployment." April 6 championed PEACEFUL, youth-led, digitally-mobilized resistance and DEMOCRATIC REFORM (it later criticized the SCAF military council for excluding youth and called for a civilian transitional council and elections). Maher was jailed in December 2013 — sentenced to three years under Egypt's restrictive new protest law for demonstrating against it — becoming a symbol of the crushing of the revolution's youth-activist wing. This is the ORGANIZED, SECULAR, DIGITAL YOUTH-PROTEST MOVEMENT cell — collective, socioeconomically-rooted (corruption/poverty/unemployment), peaceful pro-democracy mobilization, distinct from the individual dissidents (Alaa Abd El-Fattah, Bassem Youssef) and the established parties. [Axes: democracy (peaceful pro-democracy mobilization; civilian rule; elections; youth participation), economic / social justice (anti-corruption; poverty; unemployment as founding grievances), civil-liberties (the right to protest; against the protest law), regime-stance (against Mubarak, then SCAF and the post-2013 crackdown).]
