Dear All,
I have read with great interest the views articulated by both Madewi and Hatoon, and the divergent threads of their opinions which conversely converge within the subtexts of their discussions regardless whether it be Saudi or any other Arab/Muslim country. Developments in our countries are so piecemeal that their impact is not driven for a much needed change, but rather as a management control tool, this is obvious with every constitutional development/change, whether it be reactive or externally driven in some sort of democratisation process for the very survival of the regime in hand.
In a desire to see some development, I find my self sharing both Madawis concern and Hatoons optimism at these changes, going for change but not far enough and excluding 51%+++ of the population, in flagrant disregard not just of universal human rights principles but if we like the very principles that underpin these regimes whether it be political Islam, Socialism, Baathism or pan arabism.
The day of the life long tyrannical leader is over, change is inevitable its just a question of when, political reform will take place?
What do you think, what have you expeirences, research informed you can we both be in and out or must we take a more objective holistic approach to these analysis, and continue to push for more
Regards
Najla
