Egypt after the protests, accusations
The Egyptian Foreign Ministry acknowledged Sunday evening, unnamed foreign diplomats for attempting to smuggle weapons into the country, facing a challenge unprecedented since the rise to power of President Hosni Mubarak ago nearly thirty years.

The Arab world is facing enormous upheaval - and she desperately needs the help of the West:
If democracy is to remain in the region not only an interlude on the way to Islamism, we must help to an extent that puts everything in the shade. The upheavals in Tunisia and Egypt have reignited the debate about democracy in Muslim-majority countries again.
However, the discussion extends to one-dimensional. It usually begins with the example of Iran. There, the dreams were shattered by the beginning of a democracy in 1979. Ayatollah Khomeini returned to power and installed an Islamic dictatorship. The failure of democratic forces has impressed the leaders of the West long term.

Sarkozy Sheriff
French President Sarkozy wants to present himself at election time as a guarantor of law and order - again. His calculus: So far, the sheriff's approach still be considered accessible. But the old loop is not any more. Only a horrible murder, then public horror and, finally, the political exploitation of the emotions: Following this pattern, Nicolas Sarkozy has in the past acted again and again, when it came to present themselves to voters as a tough interior minister or leg vigorously cross-President.

In Cuba comes the optical fiber. But (for now) the freedom of the Web remains a mirage
A few more months and Cuba will eventually be the only nation isolated from the global telecommunications network. At least from a technical point of view, because the internet in the island of Fidel Castro is still subject to heavy censorship. Tomorrow, at Siboney, near Santiago de Cuba, the ship should land the French company Alcatel-Lucent, which two weeks ago in La Guaira, Venezuela, has begun laying fiber-optic submarine cable that will connect the island with the rest of the world: 1552 km of cables for a $ 70 million project funded by the Dawn, the program of political and economic cooperation for Latin America begun in 2004, Havana-Caracas axis.
