It’s the least we can say to those who expected the ” better “after said” Arab Spring “. Whether in Tunisia, Libya and Egypt, people in three countries hold their breath, fearing that they will in the future. The thing that is safe and within the parameters and current data, the winter will be warm or even hot. Indeed, the current situation prevailing in the country shaken by revolts of some people is really confusing.
Tunisia, land of the trigger that “Arab Spring”, the situation is still confused. In terms of security and economic, the needles are red and you can not see how the new leaders could get back on track? Violence is daily while tourists have scratched their agenda on behalf of Tunisia. The aim of the uprising of January 14 will end a dictatorship and allow the establishment of democracy in the country. Unfortunately, the results of the revolt led to a plan to get on the top step of the country.
Until the emergence of those who curse democracy, the city of Sidi Bouzid cradle the outbreak of the “Arab Spring” was the scene of clashes between Islamist pro Al-Hashemi and law enforcement. The protesters burned the headquarters of the town hall, the court and several public buildings. The Interior Ministry today was forced to declare a curfew to control the situation.
In Egypt, the same scenario is taking shape even before the election and whose Muslim brothers are the favorites. Since the beginning of the revolution of January 25, 2011, the country is undergoing a more catastrophic situation. Tourists flock to the past by thousands Egypt have shunned as violence shook the country daily. The Copts are crying marginalization as the place “Tahrir” is full every Friday. Just yesterday, hundreds of thousands of citizens held a rally at the square “Tahrir” calling for immediate elections. At this place, a prayer was held on a body of a young man who they say was tortured to death in a police station. After accompanying the deceased to his final resting place, incidents broke out between protesters and police outside the U.S. Embassy in Cairo. Other protesters headed to the headquarters of the television, obscene slogans against the military council. The next election, to allow 90% Muslim brothers to take the destiny of a country overpopulated and poverty which has reached the top. This certainly is not the ideology that the country out of trouble. Unless the brothers manage to convert Muslims to prayer “salat al-istisqâ” by rain in Egyptian pounds, euros or dollars.
Finally, the situation in Libya is much more serious. The so-called “revolutionaries” were able to take power by force, thanks to foreign military intervention. Instead of the Gaddafi regime, Libyans will have the leaders of radical Islamists. They refuse to disarm and sharpen their knives disputing liability. On the other hand, the war is not over, because the tribes near Gaddafi swear by vengeance and waiting for the start of NATO to take action. The ball is already open, reports indicate that Send Larabi that captured Gaddafi was shot by a group called “Front for the libration of Libya.” In short, the winter will be very hot in countries shaken by popular uprisings. In the meantime, the people of these countries are on board a boat in the ocean somewhere in the middle of a storm.
