Arab
Spring Effects On Nations Colonized By Russia
No
one had predicted or even imagined that the Tunisian protests started in the early
2011, and Elbu Ezizi’s sacrificing himself for the salvation of his entire
nation that had suffered of tyranny, obsession, authoritarian rule and
falsification of elections for tens of years, to keep the same group that acted
like a gang in power.
The
Arab Spring’s train did not freeze in Tunisia; but continued a historical
journey to other countries such as Egypt, Yemen, Bahrain, Libya, and has
presently reached Syria, which has tackled the tyrannies in charge of those
countries.
Two
of the above mentioned countries, Libya and Syria were considered the strongest
allies with the Russian state in strategic and other vital contacts that
included arms and military ties. In the Libyan example, Russia had tried to
play its usual games at the United Nations Security Council and to navigate in
the opposite direction of where the majority of Libyans were heading; but
Russia switched sides when it felt that its ally Qaddafi & sons had reached the point of no return to stay on
top of the authority in favor of the Libyan people that had risen against an
oppressive and dictator ruler who mistreated the entire country for consecutive
42 years, and spent the people’s money on personal and miscalculated projects
and giveaways. Such opportunist stands were taken in the second gulf War by the
Soviet government in the year 1990 and then the Russian government in the year
1993 when switching position both in the United Nations and elsewhere in both
events in contrary of what was the official stand at earlier stages.
The
Syrian example got more than two dimensions in which one of the dimensions
deals with the fact that the Russians have felt, they are losing ground
including all their cards and their game has come to an end! They started side
games this time with China in order to veto and block any UN resolution against
the Syrian Assad tyrant Regime, which they did, in order to gain free hand to use Syrian ports
on the Mediterranean and to assert control over the Syrian capabilities
forgetting about the oppressed Syrian citizens who get killed on the bloody
hands of all Syrian forces that are controlled by Assad’s government, even the criminal
thugs, they are controlled, handled and operated by the Intelligence security
branches. The Syrian popular revolution has increased momentum even in large
cities such as Damascus and Aleppo beside the other hot areas in Homs, Hama, Idlib,
Dara’a, and all various Syrian cities, towns and villages.
A
second dimension deals with the Russian internal situation, which reveals a
wakeup call that had suddenly echoed through the Russian society taking the
example of the Arab Spring, expecting as some analysts have analyzed lately,
the possibility of receiving the Arab Spring train in Russia which is reflected
through the regular demonstrations that are demanding to attain the basic human
rights, freedom to speak, and real free elections that would prevent those who falsified the elections in the past, the way the Arab dictators did, from repeating the old game elections after elections. The authorities however have organized counter-demonstrations (the way Arab dictators did) in support for Putin, to minimize the importance of the activities of the opposition.
All
that, not to underestimate the small occupied indigenous nations and peoples in
the North Caucasus and other parts of so-called Federal Republic of Russia,
that are controlled by the Russian state against their well, with no respect to
basic human rights or even free elections to elect their own leaders who would
rule them or represent them in the so-called federation institutions.
Russia in regard to Syria and other Arab allies would not be much of a problem, because there is a time when loss is inevitable swinging stand is not a problem for a yoyo type politics. They did it before, so they will do it again; but regarding the situation in Russia itself, it will be seen that cornering the foreseeable confrontation with the masses of people is on the way, definitely the ruling junta that is obligated to continue its path to the end where no exit is available for its havoc.
That
can lead to freedom for all.
