Protesters stormed the streets of Manama, Bahrain yesterday, proving that the political rebellion in Egypt might only be the beginning of a long string of Middle East protesting. In my last blog, I suggested that Egypt may be in the process of becoming a terror-influenced society. I am pleased to say that I was wrong; there are no terrorists yet, but the Egypt protests have influenced the start of a Middle Eastern political protest war! Go ahead Bahrain, protest away. Egypt has shown you that when you get large groups together (like the 50,000 person protest planned for Saturday in Bahrain), you will get your political message across. Hey, any other Middle Eastern countries interested in overthrowing their governmental powers? Join in.
Here is an article about Bahrain in the Wall Street Journal.
Tunisia was the first Middle Eastern country that started the snowball effect of protests. Even if is likely that some governmental powers of middle east area were about to collapse because of internal pressions, I agree that successful protests in other countries give trust and courage to all the dissatisfied populations of the area.
ReplyDeleteQuestion: Why were you thinking that Egypt could be in the process of becoming a terror-influenced society?
I think that chaos is the perfect environment where terror can rise and manipulate the lack of social justice to justify hate and violence. I personally didn't see chaos in Tunisia and Egypt events, on the contrary I have seen the rising awareness of populations about their civil rights. VOICE.
