The Arab Revolt ... .. "Let's talk!"
In recent months we have heard so much news to tell of a world that is suddenly changing, she feels the need to demonstrate to win its freedom and rights, and sometimes it does so raw, violent, sometimes by simply filling squares of voices and people. But beyond the official news, as we now live in a country like Tunisia? And just as Syria is facing the change that continues to invest in neighboring countries more or less? What do you think ordinary people and how they live? All I kept asking myself questions and then what's best not to ask those who still live there!
While in Egypt near the government has just fallen in Tunisia people seem to have a new awareness, even the quietest of the vendors at the bazaar, the same who was limited to the first greeting, now talk about politics with enthusiasm, as if the silence of 28 years of dictatorship veiled had dissolved in a few months and mouths, unstitched hours, were finally free to speak, say, supporting, contradicting ... that almost did not seem real! The eyes are alert and lively ready to see what will happen, but as protagonists, this time!
Everyone keeps saying that there is no danger of fundamentalism, which started the revolt by ordinary people and through them has been brought forward and I believe this, then of course is easier to get their hands on a motion to appropriate the merits of others ... In this case only time and the evolution of things will clarify this point. But since we arrived here, the Tunisians themselves.
Until recently, YouTube and other social networking sites were blocked, are now again visible, porn sites are censored, but if you are trying to access first appeared just says "error 404" now reads "The internet is freedom, site offensive to public morals" with the ability to send an email to receive explanations about ... well, censorship drastically decreased and openness to dialogue, I think a good goal!
Along the streets of Tunis and its surroundings can be seen sellers of safes, because after each change, war or revolution worthy of respect, the options change, an increase and a good trader must learn to take advantage! Why safe? .. You ask in the course of many events banks have been destroyed, looted homes, shops and supermarkets, in a seemingly irrational outburst of rage. In fact a careful eye will notice that all the targets of looting have been chosen with care as belonging to the family of Ben Ali, or at least somehow related to this one. Now people are reluctant to deposit money in the bank, so buying safes to place their savings in recent months and this is where traders come into play at the moment.
police until recently, frightened, being committed to defend the property of Ben Ali and his family often commit heinous acts, violence and aggression against civilian demonstrators. Since But the dictator has left the country (like hell!), the roles have changed, the police continue to turn to the streets, often in civilian clothes, but people are not afraid of them and indeed seems careful to follow the moves . For example recently in Kef a boy was beaten by a policeman, this has created quite a few quarrels and has meant that people in the streets to demonstrate riscendesse strongly against this violence.
people continue to be kind and hospitable, the weather is quite calm and he breathes a 'wind of change, waiting participant. The Foreign Ministry does not recommend or go into the desert on the border with Algeria for fear that organized gangs rapiscano some stranger asking for ransom. The curfew is from ten to four in the morning trip to the desert ... ... ... .. I'll see you next winter!!
AND SYRIA WHICH COMBINES?? I wondered ... The rioting stopped at Facebook? In fact, it was proposed to demonstrate peacefully a couple of weeks ago, after the last Friday prayers, but nothing. The reality is that most of the Syrians like the president, his image appears everywhere, in homes, buildings, shops and even on the machines. Of course there are problems such as rising prices of the past year, the difficulty to find work, but that has nothing to do with the situation in Egypt where a low-average worker does not live with more than a dollar a day. Censorship is another one of those sore spots that might be cause for revolt, but the government has been active in recent days to appease the spirits by making visible facebook (actually visible from the first with a few tricks of the trade!). Well finally, the problems are there and also go beyond the crisis and censorship, such as freedom of women to live a dignified life in the absence of father or husband, but currently lacks the straw that breaks the camel's back, the sprint to take to the streets and shout for rights!
