icanthearyou 4,462 Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 I watched a report on Al Jezeera this morning about this. The young people who led the reform movement are apparently disgruntled with the lack of results from their new, semi-democratic government. They say they want better education and more opportunity.

AUUSN 823 Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 This is a phenomenon I really want to start studying. The Arab Spring was a fantastic and spontaneous event but was quickly coopted by nefarious groups (i.e. Muslim Brotherhood). Freedom is hard work and we missed an opportunity to influence events on the ground, rather we just sat on the sidelines, gave a couple of speeches and hoped it would all work out. Upon reflection, imperial Gulf States and Iran were able to stave off their uprisings and influence events elsewhere (see Yemen). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
