Jeudi 10 février 2011, les gens de Tahrir ne changent pas l’Egypte, ils changent le monde. Ils changent le monde tel que nous le connaissons. Jusqu’à maintenant, lorsqu’un peuple se soulevait, il suffisait que les pouvoirs en place lâchent un peu de lest, fassent quelques déclarations rassurantes, divisent les groupes, laissent pourrir, provoquent des heurts, pour que les mouvements s’effondrent.

Who's the most shaken up by Egypt's uprising? While the political earthquake rumbling through the Middle East began in Tunisia, when the people took to the streets in Egypt, unrest became a trend rather than an isolated event.

"America is petrified that if Mubarak falls, dominos will just tumble all over the oil-rich region,” former Middle East correspondent for the Times, Christopher Walker said in an interview with Press TV.

The realist terminology of the 'domino effect' does not capture the agency that Arabs are today assuming to unseat Arab hegemons, from Cairo to Sana'a.
This agency is unshackling itself from a threefold dynamic: the fear of the Arab police state; Orientalist constructions demoting Arab agency; and Euro-American democratisation theorists' obsession with structure, culture and top-down institution-building. Similarly, this agency stumbles upon the structures of a world order driven by self-interest and impervious to the dreams of millions of Arabs to be free.
