The events in Tunisia and Egypt have struck fear into the hearts of the Arab rulers who have destroyed politics, and they have destroyed the Arab nation, freedom and democracy. They are scared of what could happen to them as a result of these demonstrations that could reach them, and now many are attempting to make changes wherever they can. But, there is no doubt that the populations hate them and they are no longer happy to see those individuals continuing to rule their countries. Change is inevitably coming, you who have oppressed these populations and exercised brute force against them! Now is the time of anger and peaceful revolutions in many of our Arab countries, and we are headed for change and for freedom, after the Arabs were feeling desperate about their stolen and violated rights without being able to do anything about it, except through these spontaneous popular revolutions. The region is indeed in need of change, and its political system needs to be addressed by the Arab populations. Yesterday it was Tunisia’s and Egypt’s turn; today it is Yemen’s and Algeria’s turn, and it will not stop there. Every ruler must act with justice and take their people’s interests into consideration and not their own personal interests, as is the case with most of the leaders who have become the richest people in the world, because the Arab region is rich with resources, but the wealth from these resources does not go to the their populations, but to the bank accounts of the rulers.
