Arab revolutions
Published in Alriyadh on 24 - 04 - 2011

Before half a century, the Arab peoples had been agitated by political figures and juvenile revolutionary slogans. The crowds had obeyed the commands of coups. The issues discussed had been alluring: the Arab union, the communism as a symbol of justice and the defeat of colonization and imperialism. However, the people agitation decreased then vanished when the reality revealed the military defeats, the economical crises and the real ideologies of these regimes.
Nowadays, there is no room for communists or national or extreme parties who were moving the crowds; they are surprised with the burst of the Arab societies under the lead of youth who did not learn by narrow-minded curricula or in universities that worship the leader or moderate and right parties which witnessed the regime failure and waited to inherit it as the sole substitute.
Even the army forces, which protected them as in Egypt, is attempting to find a valid substitute according to the revolutionists' requests while other movements started without the protection of army forces, but went out to the streets with no enmities with regional or foreign regimes. The internal affairs prove that the offended Arab dignity is the main reason of these coups.
Amidst this huge flow, anti-democracy movements appeared to deprive women of any political role and others called for destroying the historical monuments that attract tourists. Moreover, some called for tribal and sectarian solitude and are used by Al Qaeda and other extremists to find a room amid this chaos.
In the meantime, many phenomena appeared to discuss the type and aims of constitutions: will it be military with civil interface as occurred in last Turkey, distributed among untrained parties to get the major votes in parliament or Islamic which mix extreme with moderate movements?
These fears are natural; however, I do not think that revolution generation is far from these scenarios because the street coup may happen again as long as the awareness of change flows amid people. This is rare as the opposition will not be against any party who abides by the necessary demands; otherwise, it will be isolated by social communication means. Nobody can steal the values of youth who died for it and lead it with rare peaceful spirit. The revolutions are armed with awareness; anybody denies that is far away from the Arab reality that embodies a new meaning to the legal demands which represents the main reason of the most serious problem.
