British site: From Lebanon to Iraq .. The Arab Spring is not over at all, but growing up

Allen Gabon says that the Arab Spring is not over but growing, and that the Arab peoples are demanding their political rights and seeking to put an end to oppression and humiliation, not only to obtain their economic rights and to fight rampant corruption, and criticizes the West for not supporting these peoples in their democratic demands.

The writer adds in an article published by the Middle East Eye of Britain, that the demands of the Arabs to recognize them as citizens with their rights, as well as the majority suffer from economic and political deprivation and massive corruption.

He points out that the regimes of these countries are desperate to maintain their grip on power at all costs, and they are becoming more brutal, repressive and terrorist than they were before the Arab Spring.

He says Tunisia is an exception, while the regimes of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi are the worst in their oppression of their people.

Humiliation and repression
He adds that the current situation throughout the MENA region and in each of its countries is simply unsustainable in the medium to long term.

He says that the people of these countries want a place in their country, and they often do not find it, which forces them to emigrate, pointing to the massive migration of brains, especially from countries such as Morocco and Algeria, where more than half of young people want to emigrate.

He adds that people in the Arab region seek to put an end to the life of oppression and humiliation they are often subjected to by their ruling authorities, and they want human and social dignity and political and civil rights.

He says that the status quo in the Arab world is unsustainable and that it cannot be lived for most of the population, and that it makes sense that the Arab Spring does not really end.

The author criticizes the West for not taking action in response to the systematic and endless violence practiced by regimes in the Arab world to quell legitimate protests, and for not supporting the democratic demands of these peoples.
