Thanks, mate.
Actually, everybody that knows the history of our region knows that any movement in one country affects the others directly. That was so clear in the 50s and the 60s of the last century when a revolution was taking place in Syria as a reaction to another one in Egypt for example.
People in these countries feel the same humiliation right now by all the dictators regardless the form of the regime, if it is republic, kingdom, or whatever. These leaders use all the possible ways to shut people up, and people became so scared from each other because most of the Arab countries became police countries where you doubt the reality of your neighbor if he is one of the secret police guys or not, so you do not do anything because you are scared from the reaction of the regime and you have no confidence in all the people around you politically.
Now, this group appraisal in Tunisia is trying to remove this mentality from the Arab average person's head. If the demonstrators there succeed in removing that regime in spite of the bloody reactions of police, that will encourage other peoples in the region to go the same route where they will have more confidence that such a group movement can do them good by removing all those corrupt and stupid leaders.
Exactly. When I was in Algeria, I felt the poverty in some neighborhoods was so harsh. They have many things in common with Tunisians and will be affected hugely by what happens there.
Exactly.
Even here in Amman there is a huge call for a very big demonstration against the high prices in the downtown after Friday prayers. It is the first demonstration like that since decades. Organizers say it will be peaceful but knowing the government here I expect the police will make some minor clashes with demonstrators during the demonstration and will damage some normal people's stores in order to have a way to stop this type of protesting immediately before it is so late like in Tunisia.

Exactly, some of Tunisia's neighbours(men don thekr asma2) have already began to get worried and have already made steps to avoid their own people's wrath by lowering prices and lowering taxes on imports and the like.

I understood only 50 % of what he is saying, but I can say that his words can be generalized on all the Arab countries where corruption is everywhere.
But the singer is addressing the wrong person as the Tunisian president is the root for the whole corruption there so what to expect when you complain about it to him?

Btw, I second those comments. It's great to hear the perspective of "insiders".
One thing that strikes me, however, is the prevalent use of the word "humiliation". It's an English word of course, but it's one that most frequently comes up when discussing the situation among Arabs in Palestine, Arabs in their own respective countries, and Arabs with regards to the rest of the world at large.
It seems to suggest a major subjective theme that, for example, you don't see coming from the many who have experienced similar government or local cruelties in places like Russia, China, Burma, other parts of Africa, etc.
Not that you can answer this, but is there something about the people's psyche that emphasizes the theme of humiliation so much where the term almost never appears in other contexts?

too bad that there is no direction in the revolution. There is no common goal. It is more of an expression of anger and frustration rather than a movement towards a definite concept. Chaos will reign for a long time. I wont be surprised if they become like Iran.
If the same happens in Egypt.. i believe the only road will be backwards. I'll be happy watching the current government getting fucked... but the alternative will definitely be shitty.

its falling apart to be honest, it would take a miracle for it to be restored i just dont see how the pres and government can fix this. i also love how every one is trying to ditch the blame like its some sort of horrible virus
i think for this to succeed the number of victims will increase to the degree the world community will start pressuring the government to just leave or the police forces realize this is costing more than its worth and stop killings.reb u will love this just keep in mind that he has been in power since 1987 while u read this

Are you talking regularly to people from Burma and China? I think your fate is to talk to a big group of Arabs here
No, I've met Karen people, Hmong, and the like. They never use the word "humiliation" with respect to what they've endured or experienced, which makes me wonder if it's a translation issue or a cultural one.
