This is the editorial I wrote for Sakaal Times, Pune that was published yesterday: A Tunisia-type situation is developing in Egypt, the largest Arab state in the world in terms of population. Weeks ago, mass demonstrations in Tunisia had led to the collapse of an authoritarian regime and sent President Ben Ali into exile. Yemen is yet another African state that is following in the footsteps of Tunisia and Egypt where a bigul of protest has already been sounded against Yemen’s President Ali Abdullah Saleh. The churning process in three countries of the Islamic world has already raised questions whether Pakistan -- an Indian neighbour ridden with political, economic and terrorism-related problems -- will also go the Tunisian and Egyptian way, though Pakistan has no history of effective street protests that can topple the government. It is the same story in all three African states that have and are still going through political and social convulsions – an apathetic dictator, an authoritarian and corrupt regime, pervasive nepotism and increasing poverty. The Egyptians are facing an even worse situation than the Tunisians as Egypt is poorer than Tunisia. The per capita national income of Egypt, which has a population of 80 million, is only 60 percent of that of Tunisia, which has 10 million people. Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak has been in saddle since the assassination his predecessor Anwar Sadat in 1981 and has had five consecutive terms in office so far. The 82-year-old ailing former military officer is planning to run for a record sixth consecutive term or hand over power to his widely unpopular son Gamal in a nepotistic succession in September this year when elections are due. Egypt has throughout been in a state of emergency since Mubarak took over power in 1981. The citizens are not free to hold rallies, freedom of speech is controlled, and critics of the government can be detained without a formal arrest. Thus the ruling party has monolithic control over the parliament. As over 100 people have died and more than one thousand injured in unabated street demonstrations in past five days, Mubarak has clamped a ban on the internet. The turmoil in Egypt has huge significance for the region and the world, particularly for Israel and the United States. The Egypt-Israel Camp David Treaty can be at stake. Already President Barrack Obama’s unfolding failure in Egypt is being compared to the then President Jimmy Carter’s disastrous Iran policy in 1979 who failed to see the coming Iranian revolution and ouster of the Shah of Iran.

I do not think so and it is not a threat to global order. The only threat is from the oil price that may leave a unhealthy trend for the global oil users. The uncertain or ever increasing petrol prices which nobody likes.

I think so as it is just a warning to all the countries where democratic revolution is not being on the mind of the people. This causes a fear to the undemocratic ruling government which creates severe disturbances in the world's scenario.

MANAMA, Bahrain — Thousands of protesters poured into this nation’s symbolic center, Pearl Square, late Tuesday in a raucous rally that again demonstrated the power of popular movements that are transforming the political landscape of the Middle East.

I support Mr. Sharma's argument. Egypt definitely is a strategic point and with such uprising in three Islamic countries, others could follow suit.

haahahah "the new world order" people wake up now or never, say no to any Government, do not elect any political leaders. Politics is a business like any other. Did anyone realize this fact, why is it that a politician of any repute has more money than us irrespective of his education and background. Do not vote and elect leaders they are bound to get corrupt in this current "monetary System"...It is true and I request you all kindly not to take any kind of loans since you wouldn't be able to payoff and would result in confiscation of your collateral by the Financial Institutions."NO BANKS NO WORRIES".

Yes very much, it is a conspiracy by the United States and its secret service agencies. It is meant to distract the whole world from its ongoing fiasco in Iraq and Afghanistan and also the world economy is in doldrums. We have heard about the bailing out of companies but never heard of bailing out a whole country. for example, Iceland, Ireland. Spain is next followed by Italy, Portugal. The bubble has inflated so huge that it has to explode.

Dear Arshad

Approach the issue sensibly. Egypt has got nothing to do with Kashmir. Where were you when terrorists struck in Mumbai, Pune and Hyderabad? Where were you when countless indian soldiers were being slaughtered. Dont fall prey to the mindless ideology of Pakistan and just because you are a muslim dont support these things blindly. Kashmir is indeed a sad plight, no one is denying that fact. But go back in history and check who started the trouble first ? It was the pakis and why none of the kashmiris opposed it at that time. Much of kashmir and its development is due to india and not pakistan. Where were you when countless pandits were driven out of their homes in Srinagar ? Is that natural justice ? Dont people belonging to all faiths co-exist peacefully in other parts of india ?

Be an indian first ! Dont kick the plate that gives you your daily food !

Not at all. It is only a threat to tyrannical regimes that surpress democracy.

I don't purport to represent everybody on the forum, but I have seen several people showing sympathy towards Kashmiris on this forum on previous discussions.

I think that technology from developed nations will prevent the revolt in Egypt from being successful. http://www.democracynow.org/2011/2/1/digital_darkness_us_uk_companies_help

definitely not a global threat. people elect a leader in the hope that they get to live a better life with all their needs met and if leaders end up being stubborn and dont bring about suitable reforms for their country then such revolts are bound to happen. i bet its a wake up call for all the politicians and bureaucrats,one has to listen to the masses.

it is a fundamental right of the people and freedom can not be a threat to any one.

No not at all. In fact, I think its a welcome change for the people there. A revolt like this shows that no ruler should think that he is the god of the land. When the dictatorship go above the tolerance level, such an upsurge can be seen which is enough to overthrow even the most powerful ruler.

In fact, in India also such a revolt is needed. Top leaders of congress and corrupt bureaucrats should be publicly humiliated to bring them back to the ground.

Hi Saumya please add your argument on right side. Though I do not know why do you think so? Corruption, population or anything else .. is it making less happy in person? Culture and languages make it more colourful than anything else.
