Support for the Protest in the Arab World!

Freedom, democracy, human rights and progress

We support the protests and the people's movements in the Arab world.

The Arab world is undergoing profound changes these days: People take to the streets to ask their undemocratic rulers to leave power. Transition to democracy, freedom and economic, social and societal progress, freedom from nepotism and corruption are fundamental rights not yet enjoyed but claimed by more and more people in the Arab world. We look with admiration to our brave sisters and brothers in the Arab world who dare to stand up against their despotic rulers in spite of violent oppression.

Our message to the people in the Arab world: We support your non-violent struggle for freedom, democracy, human rights and economic, social and societal progress. We are proud of you and are with you in our hearts and our minds. You are the heroes of our days!

Our message to the rulers of Arab countries: The time of despotic regimes is over. Stop suppressing your citizens. Listen to the voices of your people. You have to make your choice now: Go down in history as the enlightened ruler facilitating historic change in your country or the despotic ruler suppressing the people of your country by force and violence.

Our message to European leaders (politicians, businessmen and women, celebrities etc): Support the non-violent peoples' movements in the Arab world. Use your influence on the rulers of Arab countries. Ask them to stop shooting at their own people and to facilitate quick transition to free democratic societies treasuring human rights, rule of law, good governance and boosting economic, social and societal progress.

Really nice message to the people in the Arab world.

However, I'm not sure that European leaders support movements in the Arab world. I think their influence in Arab countries is too small and they don't want risk that they can lose it.

In addition, everybody knows that rich countries profit from totalitarian regimes in world and sometimes they support this regime because of economic reasons.

I heard very interesting sentence somewhere: Prosperity of rich countries depends on exploitation of third world
