The Egyptian regime got there first dent in 30 years when the American backed President Husni Mubarak is faced with the strongest of agitation in his rule(30years). It is believed by the analyst that the time for structural adjustment has triggered in the Middle Eastern region.
The fire that was ignited in Tunisia has taken Egypt into its grip to. It is believed that the dismissal of the dictator in Tunisia gave hope to the Egyptians that even they could have a new democratically elected leader.
If we analyze the causes of the unrest we could easily come to the conclusion that this was expected for a long time. Both the countries were more of police states and the extent to which exploitation corruption was rampant in the country it was expected that this was coming their way.
Some analysts believe that the thinking in the White House has changed and now the US doesn’t want American backed dictators in the region. This might be due to the economic situation in the US and they don’t want to get involved in the region to that extent.
But the situation is not that simple and is believed to have a spillover effect in the region. One has witnessed the panic which it has caused in Jordan where the King has sacked the Prime Minister on the charges of corruption. It is believed that this would take other states into its grip and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia cannot ignore this threat as it is basically peoples struggle in different countries as they have stood up for their rights and challenged the status quo forces.
However other analyst believe that this uprising might end up in the war between the haves and the have not’s and no country can try to create their dominance. The reason for this could be the people have took to streets and they still are leader less and are not entertaining main opposition leaders like Mohammad Al Baradi who is supposed to be a new American backed leader.
