Haya yameendelea kwa miaka kadhaa sasa katika ulimwengu wa kiarabu hali si shwali. kila nchi ukiangalia kwa makini hasa yale yaliyokuwa mataifa yenye nguvu katika ulimwengu huo yamekuwa na wakati mgumu. angalia Libya, Iraq, Misri na Syria. mataifa ambayo yalikuwa na nguvu kiasi flan katika ulimwengu wa kiarabu. Swali ni nini chanzo cha kuanguka kwao au kuwa katika machafuko haya? jibu jepesi litakuwa mataifa ya magharibi au marekani. lakini kwa wasomi tunapaswa kuingia ndani zaidi. hali yake ilikuaje toka kitambo na nini ni tatizo kubwa.
mataifa ya kiarabu hayakuundwa kuishi kidemokrasia.
na ndo maana unayaona ni yenye machafuko makali sana. Ni mataifa ambayo watu hutawala kwa upanga na kama huamini kuna hizi data hapa kuhusiana na hali iliyoko sasa hasa ukienda iraq baada ya kuangushwa saddam hussein, ukienda libya baada ya kuangushwa muammar ghadafi na pengine aliyekuwa akionekana kama mpiganaji wa waislamu/waarab osama bin laden. hatimaye tena nchi nying za kiarab hazijatulia ka miaka mingi hata baada ya kondolewa watawala wa mikono ya chuma.
ARAB WORLD IN CHAOS
Syria is in a full-fledged civil war having claimed the lives of over 105,000 people. And most worrisome for America and Israel is al Qaeda is resurgent in Syria.
Egypt is locked into a dangerous stalemate between Islamists and the military. No peaceable solution is in sight. Massive unemployment and debt are strangling the country, and there is no quick-fix solution on the horizon.
Iraq Iraqi security forces launched a major offensive against insurgents in the country’s northwestern and western regions on Sunday. Iraq is deteriorating, and little can be done to stop the violence between Sunni and Shia Muslims . Shia Muslims are the majority of the population.
Yemen is a very serious concern for the United States… Yemeni security forces remained on high alert amid fears of an imminent attack by al Qaeda in the capital, Sana’a, after the US and Britain withdrew all embassy staff and again urged their citizens to leave the country.
Libya is not so much a country anymore but a name on maps that is home to dozens of militias, tribes, and desert nomads, all seeking to assert power. Libya has not a unified voice, and is on the brink of its own civil war.
Jordan is in a much-weakened state; the Monarchy is constantly scrambling to maintain political power. The Muslim Brotherhood has a strong presence in the country. Jordan stands at the crossroads of the regions conflicts: Shia versus Sunni and Arab versus Israeli. It has a peace treaty with Israel.
Bahrain is an island nation close to Iran (geographically), but led by a Sunni monarchy that rules the majority Shia (Iran-friendly) citizenry. There is continued protests and unrest. If it were not for Saudi backing, Bahrain would experience a coup d’état encouraged by Iran.
The Sinai Peninsula (a desert that separates Egypt and Israel) has become a mini-Afghanistan. The Sinai Peninsula has been a haven for militants and terrorists for decades. A barren desert, the Sinai is very difficult to control.
Saudi Arabia is relatively stable but there are worries. Saudi Arabia is in the midst of a historic generational change of leadership; the Saudi leadership are in their 80’s. Who will lead this powerful nation in the next 3 to 5 years and beyond will be watched intensely.
