Everything has a limit to the patience of a people who like the Tunisian suffered 30 years of dictatorship "benevolent" Habib Bourguiba, the father of the nation who fought for the independence of that country. Then came 23 years of the police regime and kleptomaniac who established his Interior Minister after giving a palace coup with the promise to provide "prompt" a democratic regime, Zine el Abidine Ben Ali.
Some lessons to the boat-soon of this movement that is continuing the same day:
1. The dictatorship, or authoritarianism is tolerated by the majority of the population, provided the dissidents will be imprisoned, exiled or killed, until it is combined with impunity, lack of opportunities for personal growth, famine and gall corruptor. The family Trebulsi dictator's wife was sold as a public good could, privatized national resources and made outlandish acts such as sending the presidential plane to Saint Tropez in southern France to bring their children and sisters their favorite ice cream!
2. Authoritarian or dictatorial regime falls when the military decides that it is not worth embarking on a widespread crackdown. Rachid Ammar the commander in chief who refused open fire on protesters rushed the fall of the dictator. As the great French journalist Jean Daniel "If the army gets up power no longer can. In the instant that their disobedience was announced the most insightful realized that Ben Ali was finished." (El País, Sunday 23)
3. No country is genetically or culturally alien to the democratic aspirations. Two French thinkers, Jean Daniel and Henri-Levy first order forcefully say so knowing that much of this skepticism towards Arabs and Muslims regarding their quest for democracy and human rights support has been generated in political circles and intellectuals in developed countries. Bernard Henri Levy, the director of the magazine La Règle Jeu says forcefully: "It takes a lot of contempt for not seeing in this region of the world nothing but lackeys villages left to their exotic lethargy" (El País, 23 January) . 4.The
actors heroism is almost always unexpected. A 26 year old brother of nine and a home run by an abandoned mother, dedicated to the sale of fruits and vegetables, which occasionally took classes especially for the use of computers is attacked by a minor official in a small town predominantly rural region. The officer leading the destruction of peddler because he refused to give the proverbial bite and to add salt to injury slaps. The muchaho goes to the mayor's office to raise a complaint becomes the official finding of yore who told quii was going to pay attention to a nobody. Mohammed left the building Bouzazi bought a 5 liter tank of gasoline and blew himself up in front of two policemen on 17 December. He died on January 4 this year without realizing that it was a folk hero.
5. The movement spread from the periphery to the center of this country, thanks to extensive use of the computer and especially Twitter and Facebook. The most interesting international network of cyber-activists who had brought down ANONYMOUS sites Visa and Mastercard because of his refusal to receive donations for wiki-leaks took action on January 4 attacked the authoritarian government sites and blocked.
6. What is the future of these demonstrations in Tunisia, democratic transformation or Leopard? Veremos.Por and it soon several governments are putting their beards to soak and not only in the Maghreb.
