Story of Modern Arab State Failure

Declaration of the Republic of South Sudan in Juba on Saturday (09/07/2011), adding a long story of the failure of modern Arab state. Whipping up the current Arab revolution also suspected due to the failure of modern Arab state.

The modern Arab state in question is a state that is formed post-colonial era in Egypt, Tunisia, Syria, Iraq, Algeria, Sudan, Morocco, Libya, and Lebanon.

First, the Arab nation with a great sacrifice of blood and tears to achieve independence from Western colonial rule. Algeria, for example, had to give up a million people died for the country won independence from France.

Egypt struggled to repel the invaders from the country entirely. The climax of the struggle of the people of Egypt is the Suez War of 1956 against England, France, and Israel. Suez war which claimed the lives of tens of thousands of Egyptians that flared following the decision of Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser nationalized the Suez Canal and expelled the British from the canal.

In Libya, a young officer named Moammar Khadafy have staged a coup on 1 September 1969 to end the monarchy system that gives permission establishment of foreign bases in Libya. Long before Khadafy, the struggle of the Libyan leader, Omar Mukhtar, died on the gallows because of his country against the Italian occupation.

Moroccan King Mohammed V and the leader of the independence of Tunisia, Habib Burguiba, must be willing to be discarded and lived in exile for many years as the price to be paid in their country's struggle for independence from French colonial rule.

Post-independence, figures that, like Habib Burguibah, King Mohammed V, Gamal Abdel Nasser, and Moammar Khadafy, pledged to uphold justice and freedom in their respective countries in accordance with the aspirations of its people.

However, the promise to live the promise. Not justice and freedom embodied in the Arab world, but the tyranny of life and various forms of inequality that occurred.

Arab leaders failed miserably in building people and the nation in accordance with the aspirations of its people when the fight for independence from colonial rule. People in the Arab world that must ultimately bear the tremendous suffering caused by their leaders betrayed its promise.

Arab revolutionary movement that mobilized young people today is the culmination of the action of the Arab revolt against the tyranny of their leaders.

The case of Sudan is not much different from other Arab countries. People in southern Sudan rose up against the central government in Khartoum since 1955 because they feel unfairly treated or regarded as second class citizens.

Post-independence from Britain in 1956 who managed to combine the North and South Sudan, Khartoum central government, as well as other Arab governments, was transformed into dictatorship. They ignored the principles of pluralism and does not recognize the principle of citizenship which establishes the equality of all citizens before the state.

Southern Sudan People's lives are hundreds of thousands of those killed and wounded in the struggle for freedom from the Khartoum central government for five decades.

The story of Western countries too, especially the U.S., in Sudan and other Arab world not much different. West originally conspired with the leaders of these Arab dictators. This is due to several factors, such as to guarantee Israel's security and the flow of Arab oil to the West. However, the West is now in droves to support the Arab revolution.

First, the West also briefly flirted with the Khartoum central government, but later strongly support the separation of Southern Sudan from the North.
