Post-coup mobilization was characterized, largely, by the student revolutionary wave and activism spread in all Egyptian Universities (2013- 2018). In the years that followed, the leaders of this movement (either immediately or after periods of detainment), moved into exile and started to pursue pathways to continue their activism against the regime. In this paper, I investigate The Second Generation of the Revolution and examine their patterns of mobilization, lobbying, and opposing the Egyptian regime from exile. More specifically, I ask how exile affects the activism of student activism leaders. The paper is based on 25 semi-structured interviews with student activists who are now based in Turkey, Malaysia, Sudan, the UK, Netherland, the US, and Qatar. The paper observes both the effects of experiences of detention, resettlement, as well as an array of host state effects that affect mobilization. This project speaks to established literature on political participation and examines the endurance of the effects of civic skill in exile/diasporas. Further, it has implications for understanding how different host state policies impact resettled persons.
