"The Arab world has been shaken for a month and a half, from Tunisia to Yemen, by a shockwave or wind of freedom. It is difficult for us to say yet which one it is, given the complicated implications of the protests which have sent Ben Ali into exile and are now rocking Mubarak’s throne, with, in the meantime, the Jordanian Government falling as well, as a preventive measure. The Tunisian president’s departure does not also mean the disappearance of his regime, which remains a source of tension. I share the concern of Tunisians about keeping ministers from the previous regime in power, some of whom were involved in quelling the demonstrations. I believe that it is the EU’s duty to encourage a process for establishing democracy on sound foundations so as to discourage the conditions for replacing one form of totalitarianism with another. Tunisia actually offers not just a model for those wishing to see the fall of Arab autocrats, but also continues to provide a precedent which can help us understand subsequent developments in a complex eastern equation."@en1
