/Swedish:/ Expert: ”Tunisien oroar grannregimer”
Utvecklingen i Tunisien påverkar folk och regimer i både grannländer och övriga arabvärlden. Sannolikheten att folk ger sig ut för att protestera är stor, men också att regimerna slår ner protesterna. Det säger den brittiska statsvetaren Maha Azzam, specialist på politik i Mellanöstern.
Det här är en tid som bäddar för rörelser i regionen, men frågan är om den rörelsen sker bland folken eller regimerna. Vad gäller regimerna är händelserna i Tunisien förstås väldigt oroande, säger Maha Azzam till DN.se.
Hon är doktor i statsvetenskap från universitetet Oxford och verkar som expert i politisk islam och Mellanösternpolitik vid det oberoende forskningsinstitutet Chatham House. Vad gäller oron säger hon att makthavarna i flera länder vet att det finns ett stort missnöje bland befolkningen. /Dagens Nyheter

Congratulations to the people of Tunisia.
Congratulations to the heroes of Tunisia.
Congratulations for standing up against oppression and dictatorship.
Congratulations for a better future.
The coward of a dictator Ben Ali fled the country. Let's hope he will be prosecuted and sentenced for his crimes against the honourable people of Tunisia.
In the last few days, Ben Ali the dictator has killed dozens of Tunisians. They are martyrs of freedom.
حديث النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم "سيد الشهداء حمزة ورجل قام إلى حاكم ظالم فأمره ونهاه فقتله
"The master of martyrs (sayyid al-shuhada) is Hamza, and a man who stands up to a tyrant ruler and gives him nasiha (advice). And so the ruler kills him." Source
Despite America's best efforts in oppressing the people of the Middle East, justice will prevail and all the dictators supported by the US will be thrown down the trash can of history.
Mubarak, it is your turn!
When Mubarak flees Egypt, he will probably seek asylum in Israel.
