Parce qu'elles se sont battues pour leurs droits et pour qu'on ne les oublie pas, parce que leur printemps fut doux, mais l'hiver rigoureux, je profite de cette journée internationale de la femme pour republier exceptionnellement sur ce blog l'article que j'avais consacré le mois dernier aux femmes du "printemps arabe"... De Tunis au Caire, de Tripoli à Sanaa, les femmes sont sorties dans la rue pour dénoncer l'autoritarisme et le manque de liberté. Alors que les régimes tombent les uns après les autres, leur devenir reste largement incertain face à de nouveaux acteurs politiques tentés, eux, par la religion. À Sidi Bouzid, le berceau tunisien du printemps arabe, elles bravèrent, à hauteur d'hommes, les coups de matraques des miliciens de Ben Ali. En Égypte, place Tahrir, elles défièrent, dès la première heure, les traditions patriarcales pour scander aux côtés de leurs maris des avalanches de slogans anti-Moubarak.
Middle East Strategy at Harvard
From Stephen Peter Rosen and Martin Kramer We launched Middle East Strategy at Harvard (MESH) on December 7, 2007. At the time, we wrote : “We believe that each of our members, at some point, will have something to say that’s best said here. Our task is to show them those opportunities, and to exercise just enough editorial judgment to make sure the site works for them and for you.” Two years later, we think it’s fair to say that MESH has made a mark.
Britain’s Prime Minister David Cameron has already admitted that he, along with many politicians across parties, has gotten far too close to the press. It’s an honest statement but, unfortunately for his credibility, it doesn’t seem that it’s been well received.

Middle East Policy Council
Members of the Arab League are due to meet in Baghdad amidst violence and uncertainty. Expectations are low, with many observers predicting a minimal turnout, with few — if any — heads of state present. The situation is further complicated by ...The Iraqi parliament marked the 9-year anniversary of the fall of Baghdad this week by approving a human rights commission, made up by 11 members. The legislation relevant to the commission was passed back in 2008, so it has taken a long time to agree on those 11. And, in an indication of continued dissension as to the legacy of the war that unseated Saddam Hussein, Iraqis are already divided regarding the significance of the new commission and the legitimacy of the process by which it emerged. The concept of a human rights commission is in itself an important innovation, both in Iraq and in the Gulf region more broadly. The idea is that citizens can contact the commission directly whenever they wish to have cases of human rights violations heard.
