Let's speak about freedom of expression

Since 2010, the Arab world has undergone tremendous political shifts. In several countries, popular movements have demanded, and are still demanding that their rights be upheld and are denied them through violence. What do Arab peoples demand? What do they share? What sets them apart? Those are a few questions to which you probably want answers. The protests arise, among other things, from the discontent of the population toward their sclerotic authorities, the high rate of youth unemployment, repression, inequality and economic hardship. This blog seeks to promote a view shared by all, including the oppressed peoples: striving for accurate information, organization and solidarity. Many analysts argue that the revolutionary movements active now owe their existence to the Arab youth, who long for democracy and justice. Thanks to the internet, they have had an unprecedented access to information and are well-aware of the news and of the world around them. We are proud to take part in a movement for change and to promote freedom of expression. Enjoy!
