"I do not know the nature of the weapons we use to the next world war. But for the fourth (the revolution), we will fight with stones." Albert Einstein
Who could imagine what happened in Magreb since last four months ? The world is changing, now with the progress of education people in poor countries now understand that they are victim of an unjust system which favors the more developed countries. This revolutionary wave will allow dissemination of universal values in Magreb countries like: justice, social equality, freedom of expression.
Trough ideological and political revolts, what has been happening since last december is an illustration of a fight against the Western powers dictate for a fairer economy and a transition to democratic models.
The wind of anger who is blowing on the Magreb countries symbolizes in the first step the fight against high prices . But more broadly it s a revolt against the socio-economic system. Very clearly, protesters express their pessimism and fears about the future, particularly in terms of employments, housing and living condition.
But Algeria and Tunisia are not the only countries affected by such social movements. We can also think about the Member States of European Union severely affected by the adoption of austerity measures ( Greece, Spain, Portugal ). And in some of the emerging countries we can notice an increase of social claims for example in China, Brazil, and India
