    Egypt’s Revolution: US Imperialism Brought to Heel
    by Finian Cunningham Global Research, February 2, 2011
    With up to eight million Egyptian people defying nearly a week of military curfew in that country to insist implacably on the overthrow of the US-backed Mubarak regime, there can be little doubt that this is a people’s revolution. In this way alone, the people have succeeded already in defying bravely – over 300 have been killed by the regime in the past week – a brutal (…)

    CIA: Frank G. Wisner arrived in Cairo
    As the Egyptian revolt swells, the U.S. National Security Council considered that the handling of the situation by Margaret Scobey, their Ambassador in Cairo, was not good enough.
    Ms Scobey is a career diplomat with a significant track record in the Middle East, but lacks experience in secret operations. Without prejudging the future, she has spared no effort to meet with the greatest number of players and establish ties with all camps at the same (…)

    Egyptian Uprising Must Address U.S Interference and the Role of Israel in the Region
    by Ghada Chehade Global Research, January 31, 2011

Second, because of the U.S’ influence and because Egypt is so (…)

    Arab world: Pro-Western regimes go adrift / 60 percent risk of socio-political explosion on Egypt-Morocco axis
    According to LEAP/E2020, the global systemic crisis contributes to weaken Arab states’ pro-Western regimes confronted to hunger riots, religious fundamentalism fuelled by the growing influence of Iran, Syria, Hezbollah and Hamas, and the incapacity of Washington and its European allies to answer by anything else than securitarian stances (1).

    JAZZMAN CHRONICLES. DISSEMINATE FREELY.
    Nothing frightens the ruling elite more than a fresh new wave of democracy. When the people are empowered to challenge repressive governments on the streets, a challenge to the corporate dominance that shapes world economic policy cannot be far behind.
    The events in Tunisia and Egypt with rumors of upheaval in Yemen and Jordan have sent shock waves through the halls of power in every boardroom of every corporate monolith and every war room of (…)

    Will the UN do something to avoid the beggining of a new war between the Sahrawi people and the Kingdom of Morocco?? Will the MINURSO members do something to protect the civilians, instead of staying in their hotels like they were turists??
