The Leverage of the Street ... and the Horror of the Authorities
Published in Alriyadh on 14 - 02 - 2011

The whole Arab world is boiling, yet not mobilized by the press or the rhetoric and lying promises by the secret and announced state's systems, and the so called the state of law and social justice, umma party, and whose who are most afraid of losing their positions; the republics of fear who have become unaware of the fate to which their positions are headed, while mystery remains the only absolute truth.
Turned-up mirrors did not give the true reflection of the leader's images and of those under their systems while they are lost in astray attempting to improve the atmospheres by escaping from the fixed principles to reality, as though the national has been in a coma throughout all those years of patience towards those who oppressed and banished him to an age of primitive ignorance.
The people is the source of authorities; a legal saying, yet inapplicable in our region. The age of cold reaction has gone due to the cases of stricture and administrative and financial corruption when the crowds moved in Tunisia and Egypt to raise the ceiling of demands by voiding the terms of the constitution, and creating new systems that match with the legislations of the countries that respect human rights and equality. There are not new demands. However, the justification of force and violence under the name of the national security or, more accurately, the state security, which lead to the "visitors of the dawn", and make the jailers inject the opponents with salt and, torture with electricity shocks, and hang the bodies on the ceiling, then pursuing Sadam's methods who exterminated his opponents by poising them by the so called first, second, or tens "meal". These are the matching cases of the state's sole party and militaries. Now, everybody is thinking of what happened on Bourguiba Street and the Liberation Square in the name of the public will, and ingratiating poets and one-sidedness media workers are no longer the masters to control the game with their lies, nor are those with the ranks and high salaries to monopolize principles and delude people with them.
The Arab Street is no longer ignorant about the global timing of replicating days and years, living under defeat, justifying principles, faking elections with ironical results when attaining %99. The Arab people is fed up with the slogans of defeating Imperialism and Zionism while it is them who are two-sided, and who appeal for the passions of those protecting them, even though offended by them at the same time.
The political vacuum, social prejudice and faking facts are the factors the prolonged the national silence until it blew up massively which came over the heritage of all coups and anti-coups this time. The new awareness has become the most powerful; socialism, anti imperialism, right and lefts wings slogans, and other's claims is no longer what tempts the national because what the people of Tunisia and Egypt have chosen goes with the life of this age, and most particularly, the dignity of the human whose will is taken from him.
The new scenery was not emotional. However, it was committed to the condition of attaining freedom of all its different types and forms, and discussions about a stolen justice is no longer accepted as stipulates because the conflict has transferred now from the arena of hollow principles onto the street who will judge over their validity or voidance. Perhaps the first country that was to realize its fears from the army and resolving the complication of its absolute authorities is Turkey because it was them to have a work with removing one authority and nominating another that submits to them, and because the democracy line is what protects them, and not the martial mood, which is a thing that goes by what happened in the two Arab countries and other countries.
