Adel Jabbar, a sociologist researcher at the University Ca 'Foscari of Venice and essayist.
What's happening in the Arab world and particularly in Tunisia and Egypt, as in Yemen, Jordan, Algeria, is to show that ended a period in which almost all Arab countries have lived with fear. They lived with repression, often fierce, with systems absolutely authoritarian, dictatorial, despotic, with an element of corruption very evident, with the regimes that have ruled for years, much of the population from participation in public life and politics, not just frightening but also impoverished. In consequence of this the events of today are characterized by two elements: on one side claiming the other side of freedom and the demand for social justice and especially the demand for dignity.
After the fall of the Berlin Wall nell''89 the Arab world is left out of any dialectic of change, the events of today show that the climate of fear and terror is over and we face the start of a new trial. What are the stages, goals, interpretations of public life is to be seen, but while these events give a very clear signal: the populations of Arab countries are no longer willing to bear or economic conditions or political conditions in which they lived years.
I want to use an image making clearer the conditions under which these people found themselves, namely that of a triangle, which has worked all these years as a fence of absolute despotism and repression. A triangle composed, first, a wave of religious fundamentalism that was devoid of a design and clarity of a true interpretation of the needs and the needs of populations; another side to the systems of secular governments, willing, and often familistic corrupt as the third side then the interference of foreign powers that have supported the regimes that support certainly played a decisive role in facilitating the work of decades for long authoritarian and violent cliques. The foreign powers that have supported these schemes often remained silent about the violations of basic rights of the people.
Today, all these elements that have supported the regimes of the area are in crisis in the face of what happened, the grassroots movements that have rebelled against their condition. Whether it is in Egyptian and Tunisian opposition parties said officially, but often less than an opposition-decoration have been bypassed, but the opposition itself, the real one, the one that has lived for decades in a state of repression almost total has been overtaken by these popular forces that are now claiming - even paying a high price-access to political participation and a new role of the state as guarantor of the needs of a large part of the population.
That triangle on which these schemes were based is now broken: both schemes, is the same fundamentalist movements, and foreign powers are in great difficulty in the face of current events. It must be said that these movements are not born from nothing, not born as a mere spontaneous uprising to demand bread, and we're talking about people who have a long history, have a conscience and a sense of itself as many other peoples in the world, especially have a history of struggle for liberation from the yoke of colonial power. In some periods people have moved in terms of revolt, rebellion, though, being unarmed people without outside help, have often been suppressed in the blood. Many of the activists were tortured, imprisoned, exiled, but now it seems that the fear and repression are not sufficient to stem this flow "revolutionary" claims of calling for the end of unpopular regimes, corruption, rot, to achieve social justice, freedom and dignity, showing a very mature political awareness.
I think the crucial components of insecurity and lack of freedom of the citizens. Feeling persecuted (even at home) as a human person, has had a significant and important. Let us remember also that if in the '60s and 'these 70 states have had an economic path that guaranteed income redistribution and the creation of a minimum of Welfare, now this has failed, many state property was privatized, and in many cases, bought up, "familizzate" by relatives of those who ran the power, which in the eyes of the people is absolute dominance. In repressive regimes
so there are even places where people can meet, and often there are no spaces or references to the civil society organizations. This is why tools like Twitter, facebook, cell phones, text messages have become subsidies to exchange information, to know what is happening in different places, in different situations. Today, the electronic connections are very strong terms, are connections that bridge the gaps and even people away from places of power are able to connect, access information and acquire knowledge.
decades also seeing the evolution of a global civil society which is an exchange of languages, themes such as justice, freedom. In recent decades, these processes have become more rapid. The Al Jazeera television has become such a virtual place where people can participate in a series of containers recognize cultural and political rights, there are continuously held discussions on sensitive and delicate that they appear completely different points of view. In the case of what happened in Tunisia, in fact, by mid-December, AJ has been censored when the regime has understood the importance delle capacità di questa televisione di seguire le rivolte nei diversi luoghi del Paese, il luogo dove i tunisini si informano sui loro accadimenti e sulle manifestazioni di sostegno delle altre popolazioni arabe. Durante una trasmissione un cittadino tunisino intervistato ha detto che il 70% di quello che è avvenuto, il successo della rivolta è stato reso possibile grazie ad AJ, ma non perché AJ fomentava o sosteneva, ma perché documentava, faceva vedere quello che avveniva, mentre la televisione di stato nascondeva tutto.
Le date del 14 ed 25 gennaio 2011 saranno incise nella profondità dell'immaginario delle genti arabe. Popolazioni che da lunghi anni sono in attesa di riscatto per scrollarsi off a horrible heap of failures and defeats on all levels and especially the perpetuation of Palestinian suffering and the plight delI'Iraq.
This revolution was born from below, without any external support, unlike the "color revolutions" supported by foreign powers. Events are non-functional power to any project large, medium or small, are manifestations of civil disobedience, unarmed, nonviolent and then this refutes the fact that for years in Europe is saying that the Muslim society is identified with violence . The second issue is that these events do not move to religious matters, to defend some kind of abstract sacred, but to defend the dignity of those citizens. Events are poor, many do not even have banners, signs are events where you write by hand, where the watchwords are freedom, dignity, democracy, no to tyranny (Istibdad), no corruption (Fasad) . The strength of these events that are supported by members of the middle class, factory workers, peasants, women, men, elders and young people. They are popular movements, not particularly ideologicizzati. These movements do not arise, as they say Europe's political jargon, because we are the vanguards who foment, they drive. The avant-garde if there will be born from these movements, will be out of the people who actually participated. We must not overlook the presence of a certain political realities with roots, because these events are not born from nothing, in the past there have been protests, riots and demands that are of significant references to the activists of today.
addition to the political forces in favor of a radical change there are many groups that have ties with old and new colonial powers, there are characters that can be recycled, can claim a liberal language may make openings of a certain kind, very moderate, with adjustments for front, but are awaiting the opportunity to enter the game and monitor its effects. Certain that the outside powers will try to find strategies to prevent, abort, crush, to the best of cases, finding a compromise for adjustments timidly liberal politically and economically. But I do not think that is sufficient to answer the needs of a society where about 60% of the population is young, with very high levels of education, high expectations, other than their parents. It has to do with a new very large segment of the population that feels completely excluded, so the adjustments facade can not sustain for long, but we will need radical reforms at both politically and economically, because people are tired of living in unacceptable conditions and accept servility as a recipe to go to a new progress.

Holiday Greeting Message
What is our history without us? Who will take responsibility to fill the lines left blank for us but ourselves?
And then you get up again, his face covered with dust, his clothes rumpled, his hands crossed on breaches that have impacted on that road. Your. To no one but you.
you filter the dust in the alveoli compresses them fatigues is the dust of your growth and your experience every day human evolution to which you are called. It is nothing but an opportunity to re-read your location, nothing more privileged opportunity to dig in to figure out what is best left there, on that land where the poor el'infero scraper, to get up and look up where the tension of living gravity.
And in those moments I come to mind you, friend away Lombard, who was dropped six teacher and the contempt of your time did you learn to filter the unexpected wonder of life to stand up for the last time under the excruciating weight of the feverish heat that you put out. I think of you, to your days, cotton stretch and dug in the shadow of the majestic light brown cloth. And I feel you near in the communion of souls that is not afraid of the jump of four centuries.
I started writing about you, about the extraordinary life experience that has been your experience of the disorder, dialectical antithesis of that staff that allows your name to engrave on stones of the streets of people like you chose art.
I think of who has protected you and those who accused you. Who protects me and who my accuser.
firm in your principles you went ahead despite the continuing attempt of repression that your time required. For that I think. Because you believed in you till the end, until the completion of your natural thirty-nine, never denying that poetic feeling that swarmed through your veins. And it did not disdain the idea of \u200b\u200ba God "as possible." Even for this I think of you. Today, like yesterday and tomorrow, a poet of the shadow.

Dijana Pavlovic, and actress Roma cultural mediator.
In Rome they were burned alive with their cabin and their misery Fernando 3 years, 7 years Sebastian, Raul five years, Helen Patricia 11. Emil died as 13 years, last March in Milan, Menji four years, Lenuca 5 years, 11 years Daciu and Eve eight years in August 2007 in Livorno. A massacre in addition to the deaths of many years of exclusion in a constant silent Porrajmos, the "Holocaust of rózne", which is not finished with the end of the concentration camps. A Porrajmos that becomes visible with the deaths of innocents but disappears when it touches so many children as the bulldozers to destroy the books and the books will no longer use because the bulldozers chase them from school and work are losing the little black fathers. A fierce competition that does not stop even when, as in Milan, teachers and parents chasing families away from an eviction Rubattino another, receive them at home, fans of all because those children do not lose their school, constitutional law and hope for their future. As usual for a few days talking about Roma not only with places to demonize and prejudices, unnecessarily cruel to persecute them with eviction because they affect the same.
opens a debate on the responsibility of governments that are tolerant of degradation or of parents who abandon their children in the cabin to the cost? But no one really wonders what is necessary to avoid such misfortunes, and the debate ends soon because then imposed the usual political urgency. A debate hypocritical because no one really wants to solve this problem. A simple question - are only 130,000 Roma and Sinti in Italy, half of them Italian citizens - but also a problem, "election" so intractable: Bring votes to kilos pursued in keeping degradation, takes them off to those who help them get out of those landfills which are social fields. But on this occasion there was a new fact that I was impressed and moved and that alone is worth spending all the words to my people: the gesture of great humanity of the President of our Republic sat with their parents and sister these children to share their despair. An act that pierces the veil of hypocrisy, which clears the blunt racism of the Lombardy Regional Council, is the tie-Bossetti, who stands up in the minute of silence dedicated to the four children, a gesture that accompanied the request for give priority to the political fate of these people, gives us hope that we can find men and women that lead to other men and women to recognize the common humanity made up of civil coexistence and mutual respect.
