It all started last December 17 when, in Sidi Bouzid, Tunisia, the peddler Mohamed Bouzizi set himself on fire to denounce the wretched living conditions imposed on the people by the regime of former Tunisian President Ben Ali. The chronicles of these days we speak of a "domino effect". So the rebellion spreads like wildfire in the Maghreb and in many other Arab countries. From Egypt to Algeria, Libya to Morocco and even in Iran, Yemen and Bahrain runs the revolutionary wave. The people took to the streets and leverage its protest against poverty, social gaps and the dictatorships of Saddam who, for decades, oppress freedom by preventing any possibility of progress. So then dictators try to suppress the uprising with violence. Act so that the echoes of the riot can not go beyond the boundaries status, limiting citizens' freedom of expression, silencing bloggers and the press hostility. C 'and those who resist. But even those who flee overseas. Our perception is that of a social and political mess in which it is almost impossible, even for the more experienced observers, make predictions about tomorrow. These days I often thought at the end of "Kingdom of the Peacock." Raised hopes that the fall of the repressive regime of the Shah of Persia. In the dark he fell to the affirmation of Islamic Iran after Ayatollah Khomeini. So I want to express my concern today. Because the processes of development in those countries are always very long, difficult and intricate. Not only because of the influence of religious fanaticism but also for the many interests in the control of an area that is in its vital oil resources. As any observer who has read and researched at the moment, off balance. Also because it is not easy to tell who led the revolt. Our hope is that these people do not fall "from the frying pan into the fire" that the vile dictatorship of Saddam, arrives to take over (as has unfortunately already happened) other disasters and other totalitarian regimes.
