Interview: MSNBC Q&A on Egypt admin, February 1, 2011September 12, 2024 Americans for Peace Now, January 30, 2011 By Lara Friedman … I recommend this MSNBC post, Q&A with Professor Stephen Zunes A: “Most Arab countries share these problems. However, some are more susceptible to these kinds of uprisings than others. For example, in Syria, civil society is weaker and the secret police are stronger. In Saudi Arabia and the smaller emirates of the Gulf, they can buy off much of the opposition. However, I would not be surprised to see an upsurge in pro-democracy protests in Yemen, Sudan, Jordan, Algeria and Morocco…” Arab Spring 2011 Egypt MSNBC Obama Foreign Policy Protest and Resistance Television
