Egypt The genesis of this conflict began as a domino effect, with the riot in Tunisia, Arab countries are also tired of seeing a gang of thieves rulers, supported by the complacency of Western governments to maintain a sort of status quo for the benefit of their economies, rather than the people who have these political leaders. The term "banana republic" can come close to describing these types of governments that have ruled Arab countries in recent years, with certain variations. The Arab world was broken several times, either through fear of the unity of this great nation, is in the interest of maintaining una fuente ingente de recursos naturales para el beneficio de las potencias occidentales, que es las más de las veces. La historia de estos países se ve jalonada por la creación y promoción prejuiciosa de diversas ideas divisionistas u odios entre los pueblos de habla árabe, que fueron unidos algún día por el profeta Mahoma. Algunas de estas situaciones se ven vistas de manera romántica y tergiversada por el casi mítico personaje Lawrence de Arabia, quien unió a los pueblos sometidos por el Imperio Otomano (los turcos) para pelear por el lado británico. Una vez concluida la primera guerra mundial, los países árabes no vieron la tan voceada libertad. Es más, se crearon algunas naciones como Kuwait para herir Arab pride and to negotiate with the new puppet government exploitation of black gold, making millions in real families, and poor peoples. In some ways, the Arabs have every reason to doubt the alleged friendship with the West in all its community. As an example, is the refusal of the United States and other powers against the "unruly" Nasser, a leader who created the United Arab Republic (UAR) to recover what belonged to the Egyptians, being a case including the Suez Canal. At his death, Americans were quick to support leaders with Anwar Sadat, first, then Mubarak to ensure their interests. The moves chip by Western governments and the blatant interference in the internal policies were generating strong resentment of a people who saw the illicit enrichment of officials and the impoverishment of the ordinary. Some Arab countries, but close to them as the case of Iran is a clear example of blatant intervention to bring down Western nationalist Mossadegh government, after overthrow, put in power the famous Shah Reza Pahlavi, who ruled with an iron fist home. The misguided domestic policy endorsed by the British and Americans, especially terms of promoting the fall of the Shah and the rise of the Ayatollahs unstoppable. This is a product indirect optical obtusa oil companies to hide behind their governments for resources and cheap insurance (it has many similarities with what happens in our countries and the neoliberal policies of Menem, Fujimori and his followers, only in our cases, " legitimate ").
Egypt had become a country cap, once dead Nasser, Anwar Sadat's rise allowed U.S. policy to negotiate with a man less "hard" and in 1977 he did something unexpected: 10 years after war 7 days was signed the famous peace treaty at Camp David. Both parties agreed to a ceasefire, return large tracts of land to Egypt (Sinai Peninsula) and a commercial treaty. But the military caste would not forgive the shaky peace and will kill Sadat in 1981 during a military parade in a slaughter that was surprisingly light on television worldwide. I still remember a man without an arm coming out from the smoke and broken bodies. The turbulence then shook not only politicians but markets were still strong nervous Arab boycott of the oil embargo of 1973 and 1974 (remember the gas rationing of those years?). Mubarak's rise occurred in the context of political instability that could have provoked a new war in the Middle East and the subsequent global economic collapse. Mubarak became a confidant in the United States, champion of the struggle against communism and later against Islam, the new enemy emerged to make things work within the geopolitical dichotomy nations, friend and enemy. In a way, the loss of some leaders as pro-Western shah, or "conversion" of others as Hussein (initially henchman USA, England and France), made the role of gendarme of the region should cede to Mubarak. And as the head "chosen" candidate became eternal (as it was Somoza in Nicaragua or Stroessner in Paraguay) to which were made some choices as in the 2005 or 2010 with the triumph sung and tight support of the world's greatest power.
An important role in these events is undoubtedly the free access to information used the Internet either a field of knowledge is unthinkable, especially to search for other options outside of which we have used the "official languages". It's true what they say several analysts on the current Egyptian generation, a generation that grew up with the omnipresent image of Mubarak, but also a generation that has grown with the development of online communication, the everyday. And they saw it in Tunisia, a fact that lit the fuse to the dynamite charge that underlies social Arab societies. And they saw that was possible. Anger was also Tunisian and Egyptian social anger in other countries, like Algeria or Jordan. I
twice in Cairo, was in the vast plaza that has become a symbol: Tahrir Square. Cairenes a place frequented by going to work, to receive a miserable salary, to silence the ignominy of nearly 30 years. And moved to see that hope to fight for a better world is not dead, it is possible that the people make their voices heard and bring down the ruling that has given back to their nation, here in our continent did the Ecuadorian who put on their pants and faced two governments for having lied, telling them so many promises that were never fulfilled. And suddenly there is a power of the people to claim part of the contract it signed with its citizens, as stated by Rousseau in his Social Contract. I know that Egypt now faces a tough road ahead due to lack of experience as political analysts say, as patronizing them with our people. There are two main risks understood: Israel and the development of fundamentalism, and obviously care resources. Imagine how the sisters have been concerned with its oil wells in the area moved from the Middle East. Maybe in a few months, we pass the bill with a rise in oil prices. Someone has to pay. U.S. and sleeve will be negotiated with the military to control "the democratic steps" (you can read this in the various messages from the White House.) I personally hope that things go in favor of this suffering people who have good and direct negotiations with Israel, a country that has the right to exist and coexist with its neighbors. And to appease its citizens euphoria and plan their society and maintain that quality of light in the Arab world. Cairo is the city of dreams in the Arab world. Long way.
What example should we draw from this Peruvian citizens? Everyone should be alert to the next April 10 event. Our screens, our newspapers, our media are filled with speeches that speak of a better Peru. All. Previous promised the same, many lied promising one thing, then ended up doing another. But it is our duty to enforce our will given to the government of the day do the job it deserves and ensure the people who elected him. We must develop our civic consciousness.
