A Second Egyptian revolution…or its just the continuity of the first one?
The Egyptians are back to the street and they are angry…the reason is that they realized that nothing changed. Mubarak is gone but his way of ruling Egypt is still employed. The army higher council is still in charge and the pre-elections document states that it will stay in charge of the most important authorities in Egypt.
The demonstrations are still taking place through all of Egypt. Tahrir Square is filled again with common people who want to see a real change in their life and achievements that bring them back their pride such as the nationalization of the Suez Canal. They want to live, eat and express their opinion
The Palestinians march towards an open People Unarmed Revolution
Despite all the obstacles that the Israeli occupation put in the way, the Palestinians continue to struggle for their rights. Although the ways are different, the vision of achieving the Palestinian dream of independence is what unites the whole Palestinian in their struggle for freedom and Human rights.

The Young Arab and Palestinian Generations, the coming change and Israel’s Plans
The Palestinian struggle started many years ago and it continues until today to get the Palestinians their rights back. The whole story started simply by taking a land by force and ignoring the presence of those who were living on it. Until today there are many who try to deny the existence of the Palestinian people and its history but for their bad luck reality proves something else.
Following a long armed struggle the Palestinians agreed on letting the gun down and holding the olive tree branch as a sign of peace. Negotiations continued for more seventeen years, Palestinian compromises were given and security was maintained but the only reaction from the Israeli side was more occupation,
Shifting Tectonics: Non-democratic Regimes on the Brink of Collapse
By Samer Nammari[singlepic id=488 w=320 h=240 float=right]
It has always been posited that authoritarian regimes in the Middle East (two of which have already collapsed) were invulnerable to change; a number of scholars (like Paul Brooker in his book Non-democratic Regimes, Cf. Brooker, Paul. Non-Democratic Regimes.

Was the Egyptian Revolt deliberately hatched/driven by a foreign agency? – By Samer Nammari
