Three years ago, when Ibrahim Nehme launched The Outpost, the Arab region was in a state of flux. In Tunisia, one year earlier, Mohamed Bouazizi had set himself on fire and unknowingly become a catalyst for what was soon to become the Arab Spring. Years of suppressed frustration across the Middle East and North Africa were unleashed in the region’s various public squares by a politically-active youth with a vision for a new Arab world, free of corruption and dictatorial regimes.
The Outpost is a bi-annual magazine published out of Beirut. It calls itself “a magazine of possibilities” and believes in the power of editorial to inspire a new wave of change in the Arab world – not an easy task back in 2011, and even less so today, with Syria still engulfed in both civil war and the rise of the Islamic State.
