The days of the Egyptian President Mubarak in power are numbered.

The days of the Egyptian President Mubarak in power are numbered. Even in neighboring countries, the rulers tremble. The yearning for freedom, prosperity and happiness is driving people into the streets in Morocco, Syria, Jordan, Yemen. Popular anger in Arabia - a review. Tents and barricades have replaced the cars and trucks roar normally on Tahrir Square in the heart of Cairo.

Normally. But here nothing is normal. The place has become the center of the struggle for freedom in the Arab world. The protesters endure here are proud of their country. Egypt had become a role model, says a man Another agrees with him: "What happened in Egypt, consequences for many countries in this region." The Arab world is in turmoil.


Only crashes Tunisian president, then rise the people in Egypt - who's next? Even in Algeria, Yemen and Jordan held mass demonstrations. Even in Saudi Arabia to gather dozens of women from the Home Office to put forward their demands. And Syria be brought people demand on placards "freedom." The despots of the Arab world have become nervous.

Many leaders fear the consequences of jasmine revolution for their country and respond quickly. Some lower taxes, others are introducing a social fund. The monarch can feel safe, they are more respected in the community as a "bourgeois" despot. The Jordanian king was a scapegoat for the ills of the government - and fired her.

Whether these concessions are enough to appease the anger of an entire generation? In many countries of the region have similar problems as in Tunisia and Egypt. The young people there sought against unemployment and lack of prospects, against the domination and bondage. Entire families joined in the protests.

But what happens when the bully is expelled? The Tunisians have successfully rebelled against the regime. But time after the revolution, many would probably be easier. The country is in transition, still is not clear who will prevail politically. In addition - as in other countries - the fear that Islamists could come to power.
