Turning the tables

The whole world has been glued to TV sets, watching the simmering feelings of the people in the MENA region turning into boiling anger. It was like a pressure cooker, bound to explode sooner rather than later. The people who took to the streets expected change, no more. No one thought about who the change-makers should be.

The most difficult stumbling block is/was: do we have a plan for change? Do we have a structure or ideas for projects for our country? Do we have a collaborative vision of the future of our nation? These questions can be debated or some will even answer a straight “No”.

Everybody was happy to see change happening, whereas now people will stop and think seriously about where change is taking them. We have to be optimistic, but also realistic. I, for one, believe that we can go forward and turn the tables for the development of the society.
