‘People suffering from tyranny’
The escape of former Tunisian president Zine Abidine Ben Ali after the Jasmine Revolution, the prosecution of former Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak on the charges of corruption and killing of protesters, and the rocket attack on the palace of Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh which wounded him and forced him to flee from Yemen show how intensely the people of the Middle East are pursuing the goals of change and liberty.
The incidents in Iran, Bahrain and the recent events in Syria should also not be ignored as people have been delivering an important message through all of them.
The people in countries affected by the Middle East spring were suffering from corruption, poverty, tyranny, lack of dignity and unemployment. The rulers of these countries either ignored peoples’ voice for decades or suppressed them brutally, while spending the country’s wealth on themselves and their families.
After the Jasmine Revolution in Tunisia and the Tahrir Square revolution of Egypt, it has become vital for charismatic and active leaders to take charge, form active democratic institutions, protect public rights, avoid belated superficial reforms and truly separate powers in order to prevent the loss of momentum and to avoid getting into the tunnel of unpredictable negative results.
