I have the perception that what is happening in the Maghreb is something that the generation of late 70's and 80 had never witnessed. Most 'live' the fall of the Berlin Wall, but we remember a little and did not have enough background to understand their meaning.
on regime change that is taking shape in Egypt much has been written and "reading" of the events are not limited to present circumstances. The process is long and understand its consequences as well. Anyway, I leave a small selection of articles and posts that have emerged and I discuss some of the ' enjeux 'Revealing.
The first of Timothy Garton Ash, ' Hitting with the following steps in Egypt' , an invitation to contextualise the movement with its own characteristics, beyond compare with other historical facts and perspectives to analyze it under a therefore incomplete.
The second group of articles (as we did with Tunisia two weeks ago) refers to the 'performance' of the EU and its positioning. You can read the post of Bruxelles2 ' Les 27 Ashton donnent a mandate to refocus the EU vers le monde politique arabe ', which analyzed the content of the mandate that Ashton gave earlier this month. You can also read the statement President of the European Parliament, Jerzy Buzek, and the joint text signed Ashton, Barroso and Van Rompuy . To all this it is worth adding the letter sent to a group of young Ashton MEPs belonging to all parties, asking for a reaction clear, unambiguous, bold and let the image and prestige of the EU to match.
The third group of articles refers to an emerging line of argument which is justified by the slowness and lack of strategic vision Ashton due to 'lack of resources' the 'many voices' or' condition of unanimity among the States. " You can read about the article itself Ashton in The Guardian ' U.S. Wants' deep democracy 'to take root in Egypt and Tunisia ' as well as the positive reading of the text makes Carlos Carnero . To this we might add the arguments wielded by the High Representative in response to criticism it received from the European Parliament in full Egyptian revolt. Return to this third point in a post below.
Personally I join the congratulations to the Egyptian people. Obviously this is the 'beginning of the end', but democracy is unquestionable that character, which is its legitimacy, and the Maghreb is giving us a tremendous lesson in dignity. I taste and topic of Obama quoting the post title. With the wisdom of flag, a country of 80 million people (more than Spain and more than the vast majority of European countries ...) starting to swing by itself, is today an inspiration not only for the 'world Arabic ', but for those who consider ourselves democrats.
