Tunisian and Egyptian Revolution.

[Mabs]

It is a bit immature to call the uprisings in Egypt a revolution, but nevertheless the occurring events are mighty fascinating and surely history in the making. These events could turn into a treasure for many people from varying regions, as an incredible number of people live in the same sorry state, and share the same sorrows as the Tunisians or the Egyptians. The events become ever so important because of the simple fact that they are taking place in the Middle East, which has some of the most oppressing regimes in the world.

As humans have evolved with time, so has the concept of revolution and its dynamics. It might not be even possible to orchestrate a revolution based on the French Revolution. The occurring and occurred events in Egypt and Tunisia could help us gain a whole new perspective about the term revolution and its practical applicability in the 21st century.

I don't know if there is already a thread dedicated solely to the current state of Tunisia and Egypt. I suggest that this thread be made sticky to discuss and really understand the events unfolding in the Middle East.

Robert Fisk: A people defies its dictator, and a nation's future is in the balance

A brutal regime is fighting, bloodily, for its life. Robert Fisk reports from the streets of Cairo

Saturday, 29 January 2011


It might be the end. It is certainly the beginning of the end. Across Egypt, tens of thousands of Arabs braved tear gas, water cannons, stun grenades and live fire yesterday to demand the removal of Hosni Mubarak after more than 30 years of dictatorship.

And as Cairo lay drenched under clouds of tear gas from thousands of canisters fired into dense crowds by riot police, it looked as if his rule was nearing its finish. None of us on the streets of Cairo yesterday even knew where Mubarak – who would later appear on television to dismiss his cabinet – was. And I didn't find anyone who cared.

They were brave, largely peaceful, these tens of thousands, but the shocking behaviour of Mubarak's plainclothes battagi – the word does literally mean "thugs" in Arabic – who beat, bashed and assaulted demonstrators while the cops watched and did nothing, was a disgrace. These men, many of them ex-policemen who are drug addicts, were last night the front line of the Egyptian state. The true representatives of Hosni Mubarak as uniformed cops showered gas on to the crowds.

Its a good sign for what i see.The (so called)revolution could(i hope)end up in the unification of the Arab states.

I hope this comes to Islamabad.

I think you are speaking with the Khilafat context in mind but that is not relevant here. As long as the people have economic and social justice, the demography holds little value.

We need to understand one key difference between countries like Tunisia,Egypt,Libya and Saudi Arabia,Bahrain,Dubai etc. The former ones even though were/are dictatorial regimes, they are not monarchies in the true sense while the latter ones are monarchies to the core with no tolerance for any resistance or change. Even Libya may be affected by this domino effect taking place in the Arab world, but a true revolution would be dethroning of any of these monarchs sitting comfy on their oil pipes.

its a good uprising, but i doubt it would produce any significant effect

these protests are not organised, not lead by a strong front, and their agenda looks pretty brittle.. it doesnt count towards a massive thing like iranian revolution..

Iranian revolution was also started by the masses--it was only towards the end that it was overtaken by the Islamists. The agenda of the Egyptian people is simple-- they want Hosni Mubarak and the system erected by him to parish.

they cant kick out mubarak as long as military & beaucracy still support him........




they must take over presidential office, and start control goverment


not just occupy central square, like what they do now.... this means nothing for mubarak

Mubarak I think is counting on US support. His two new appointments were former army officers who worked for a longtime in Washington DC and were well known entities there.
