How can we begin to explain the reasons behind the "Arab spring", the wave of protest and revolt that has rocked the Arab world to varying degrees, from the Maghreb to Syria and including the Gulf States? Yet the region had appeared irremediably destined to remain in the clutches of dictatorships in power for decades. In this extensive interview, historian Jacques Julliard spotlights several decisive factors, starting with the instinctive desire for freedom common to everyone, the Arab peoples being no exception. Another key element is virtually instantaneous access to the Internet and Al-Jazeera, enabling the rapid spread of information on events in the countries where the uprisings began. Not to be overlooked either is the frustration of the younger generations, who had only known the rule of aging dictators. While the uprisings might not necessarily result in model democracies being established overnight, they testify to the Arab peoples' desire to take control of their own destiny -and that can only be welcomed.
