Interesting.. The missing factor is the Leadership Generation..
Most of the delayed and confused states is due to lake of leaders on the ground to motivate, guide, justify or sustaining the revolt..
Systematically, most of these long serving and corrupt regimes had similarly suffocated the weak fetuses of leadership along the decades.. Arabic wombs can't bear leaders or deliver them at the time being.. Maybe the coming future will change..
Why Leaders are so important..?
By history, culture and instincts, leaders are the pillars of human civilization..
Arabic culture in particular, is inevitably driven by Patriarchic and fatherly framework..
People may step down into the streets; but who would convince them to stay or to return back home..?
Thanks Ali BuRuhaima for sharing
Assem,
ReplyDeleteI hope you share my verdict on the leadership crisis.. Then, YAL (Organization for Young Arab Leaders) should form a task force to analyze it, despite how many would seriously love keeping both idle..!!
is this the exclusive list of countries?!!!

Not only missing Sudan, Comoro, Somalia, and Western Sahara, but also had deliberately manipulated the data by percentage and weight, in order to form a predetermined perspective.. This is common in political analysis.. yet still useful benchmark to produce another..
ReplyDeleteAccordig to CIA country facts, there is a great disparity in GDP among countries in the middle east, here in their analysis, the GDP for Yemen and Saudi Arabia show similarity after weigthing, which I don't suppose is an accurate trend.... At times, the uprising seems to be more of a stochastic randomness than otherwise... There are countries out here who have thousand reasons to go out on the streets years before Tunisia and Egypt...who would have thought Libya was coming in so quickly ? Coutries with a history of uprisings like Sudan seem to be quiet this time around ... So, while these are contagious, I don't think we have enough to make predictions about who's next or why they will want to come out

Shows the balance between freedoms we take for granted and a wired/youthful nation desiring liberty, jobs, and freedom from religious oppression. Clearest summary of world momentum ... would love to see this in comparison with the rest of the world's nations. Surely the Middle East is not alone: Cuba, North Korea, Venezuela, etc. line up in style.

Despite the bias in the graph, humane motivations and wish lists are the same across the globe.. This is how the momentum is compiling in ME, Africa and Asia.. Regretfully, the deteriorated rates of literacy and transparency enable the greedy corrupt lobbyists to continue gaining and controlling, despite the loud cries to prosecute them.. It is the turn of history at these parts of the world, which had once led the civilization, yet hilariously is frozen in time..! Are the people capable to deliver new patriotic and knowledgeable leadership..? It is a question that is hard to answer.. In the race against time, predictions are inconceivable..!
