Some Perspectives On The Egyptian And Tunisian Revolutions

category international | rights, freedoms and repression | other press author Saturday February 12, 2011 18:33author by pat c Report this post to the editors

Seven writers give their analyses of the Egyptian and Tunisian Revolutions and warn of the dangers ahead. Full texts at links.

The Emerging Counter-Revolutions In Tunisia And Egypt
By Mahdi Darius Nazemroaya

An arrogant pharaoh has fallen. Egyptians may be chanting that their country is free, but their struggle is far from over. The United Arab Republic of Egypt is not free yet. The old regime and its apparatus are still very much in place and waiting for the dust to settle. The Egyptian military is officially in control of Egypt and the counter-revolution is emerging. A new phase of the struggle for liberty has started.

Effects Of Ultimate Revolution In Egypt:
Freedom Or Army Rule?
By Prof. Bhim Singh

The Ultimate Revolution in Egypt has proved that a revolution can be brought by a popular, peaceful and disciplined movement of the people. In Spain people threw out the king and instead of freedom got a dictator who ruthlessly ruled for quarter of a century. The entire world shall be waiting for the advent of democracy and liberation from the army rule in Egypt. Only time shall tell.

The Egyptian Revolution:
The Triumph Of Human Dignity
By Chandra Muzaffar

We do not know how the Egyptian Revolution will unfold in the coming days and months. But for the time being, the people of Egypt, and indeed the people of the world, have every right and reason to celebrate. We have just witnessed the liberation of the soul of a nation. We have just embraced the triumph of human dignity.

Is This A 'Young Turks' Moment All Over Again?
By William Bowles

Without direct interference from the West, I think we can be assured that Egyptian people will choose the right direction for them, however it pans out. But with so much at stake for the US and its allies it will stop at nothing to make sure the status quo is maintained. It's all down to the Egyptians now.

Mubarak's Failed Bait And Switch
By Stephen Lendman

For the moment, however, huge Tahrir Square crowds erupted in celebratory euphoria, perhaps forgetting their liberating struggle just began. It didn't end with Mubarak's resignation. That was a baby step, removing an aging dinosaur Washington and Egypt's military wanted out. Now he's gone. Focus must follow through on what's next, requiring sustained popular protests. Otherwise, everything gained will be lost.

The End Of The Dictatorships And
The Retreat Of The US-Israeli Empire
By Feroze Mithiborwala

The fall of Egypt & the end of the Westertn backed brutal dictatorial regime of Hosni Mubarak, also marks the defeat of the US-Israeli project for the control of the Middle East & North Africa. The popular People’s Revolution currently sweeping the Arab & Muslim nations is committed to the end of dictators & monarchies. The revolution is also a movement against the hegemony & tyranny of Imperialism & Zionism.

Popular Anger Boils Over In Iraq :
Further Protests In Algeria, Tunisia And Yemen
By David Walsh

Protest over social conditions spread to Iraq this week, as demonstrations broke out in numerous cities. Meanwhile, a mass rally has been scheduled in Algiers for Saturday. In Tunisia itself, the population continues to simmer, with the same autocratic power structures still in place despite the flight of Zine El Abidine Ben Ali. Jordan, Yemen and Morocco are also witnessing protests.

Extreme Islamists are on the march in Tunisia, they must be crushed if the revolution is to be saved.

Tunisian police have dispersed dozens of Islamists demanding the closure of a brothel in the capital Tunis. The police reportedly fired in the air to break up the crowd.

Separately, a Polish Catholic priest was found dead with his throat slit outside the capital.

And in another development, the country's interim cabinet approved amnesty for political prisoners held under the regime of ousted President Zine al-Abidine Ben Ali.

The Islamist protesters rallied outside the interior ministry in Tunis, following Friday prayers.
"There were several dozen riot police who shut off entry to the neighbourhood. They fired in the air to break up the crowd," eyewitness Mourad Barhoumi was quoted as saying by Reuters.

The rally is seen by some analysts as the latest sign of Islamists organising in Tunisia after the departure of Mr Ben Ali.

Later on Friday, a Polish priest was found dead with his throat slit near the capital. Officials said Marek Rybinski, 34, was discovered in the garage of a religious school in Manouba, where he worked.

Tunisia's interior ministry said it believed the killing was the work of a "group of fascist extremists", judging by the way it was carried out. In a statement, it said those responsible were trying to further destabilise the country.

Despite the use of the word "Separately" ,the fact that both these stories were carried in the same article seems to indicate an attempt to conflate Muslims demonstrating against a brothel with the fascistic murder of a priest .
All adding up in the minds of the gullible to the march of Islamo- fascism
