Haircut Tape Up Or Fade
"These are countries to which the torpid Europe, failed colonialism, wanted to know anything except keep their interest without disturbing the system, whatever. The charge of the EU Foreign, Katherine Ashton, was unable to say a word. Pilate, individual governments are to see, calling for restraint. Even the U.S. has said: "Do not repress, every people has its rights," Europe no. Silence of Israel. Silence of Saudi Arabia.
Certainly the outcome of the revolt Maghreb (we will see that happen in Libya and Morocco, and if it's closed the page of Algeria) and Egypt (we'll see what can happen in Syria and Jordan) will weigh more than a little on the international stage. But in the meantime we salute an extraordinary movement, a courageous, secular, which is back to blow the wind of freedom of lifts. Companies are young, impoverished, complex, cultured, full of personality-free. They are Muslim and speak the poverty of the stereotypes of Islam that we have built. Are diverse and complex political structures demolished almost from tyranny, and in the multiplicity of military figures, more or less included in the powers and property. They are completely different in civil structures. Tunisia had given the women a status equal to that of France but had devastating effects on press freedom. Algeria has a certain freedom of the press but has reimposed the veil on women. Egypt does not work neither liberty nor the women of the press. In Tunisia we have seen women everywhere, among the demonstrators, with or without a veil, Egypt, Friday night was a little ghost in nikab full body and face covered with veils and fabrics of lilac, who was leading a group of protesters, angry and determined. They are protesting because unemployed four years, for journalists from writing, because women who have had enough.
The balance of power may change by the hour. The images overlap. But meanwhile, are a breath of the world wants to breathe and give to us, that with democracy seem to have lost the courage. "
