The Pharoah is gone ... an army awaits.

So , about 16 days of demonstrations finally witnessed the ouster of the despotic ruler of Egypt from power last month.

There are consequent protests in many other parts of the Arab region which are not limited to Jordon, Libya, Yemen,  Bahrain in order to bring down oppressive rulers and to establish what should be called as governance for the people.

Now, there is an overwhelming amount of information available on the Internet and news media about the current protests which started following the revolution in Tunisia and Egypt(the most talked about). While most of nations and their respective media stand supporting the protests, their actual concern doesn't lie anywhere close to the welfare of the society or the people. Instead, each one of them is seriously busy trying to get most out of this instability in the region.

While some countries like America are trying to bake breads on the fire, others are letting no stone unturned to wash it outright. Israel is such an example, for the obvious reasons. While both imply that the world will be headed towards a decline in peace, progress, and political stability if there is any outcome which results in non-conformity of implementation of West's and European interests in the region. A undeniable threat is projected in front of the people by their own governments and media throughout the world, if an Islamic or sub-Islamic rule is established in any of these Arab regions.

The hot topic of discussion remains to be the emerging organized or otherwise political groups such as Islamic Brotherhood and their supposed agenda to take the power in their hands and imposing a medieval code of governance. The main cause of the revolution is pushed aside and the grievances of the common man are muted down. Hosni Mibarak and Muammar Al Gaddafi may be gone but an army of such rulers and their supporters remain firm to crush the voices and their mouths.

There is a desperate need of uniform support from the people in and out of the region of conflict so that normal content life returns easy and fast. For this to happen, we would have to rise a little above our selfish motives and racist attitudes towards others. What is happening there could also have an impact on us, whether it is direct or not. The same could happen to us, given the present political and economic conditions around us.

Also, the simple fact should not be forgotten that if thousands of citizens are out on the roads endangering their lives and taking anti-aircraft gun bullets at chest, it's definitely not a picnic out there.
