It has been more than one year that Arab Spring spread in various countries of the region and the question today is to see where we are. In fact Tunisia is doing more or less well. But there are still some problems. Egypt does not stop having protests and the army intervenes heavily leaving various casualties. Libya is in huge problems and apparently no solution is on the pipe line. Syria is in a real civil war and thanks (ironically) to Russia and China the Assad's regime will survive and go on its killings of its own citizens. Russia and China vetoes a UN resolution to stop and unrest and to intervene.
What about the other countries? Nobody speaks about Bahrain anymore. Jordan seems to do well and there are no unrests nor demonstrations against the regime. Morocco is still a completely corrupted country with a king incompetent and all powerful. He still does not understand what is happening in his country. As for Algeria the military is so strong that not even news of what is really happening can reach the west. So what is the balance sheet? For the moment only sadness that Arab countries are not able to behave like normal nations and have a real government that works for its citizen and not for itself. However, one cannot be too optimistic. Because the Arab Spring showed us that the people can wake up at any moment and that their reactions are unpredictable.
