For the first time in decades, people have taken to the streets to demonstrate against the oppressive and undemocratic regimes that have been in power for decades in a number of Arab countries, most notably Egypt, Tunisia and Yemen. Change has started in Tunisia, and the Jasmine Revolution succeeded in overthrowing Ben Ali, the former Tunisian president.

Protesters ask not only for economic improvements, but also for democracy and political reform. The world is observing the situation very closely, and the implications of the protest have been widely felt. The Egyptian stock exchange has been experiencing massive losses, and the government has so far failed to maintain the demonstrations despite the excessive use of force documented on all news channels.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>This is a crucial moment in the history of Egypt and the Arab world as a whole.
