He fears that sectarian divisions will worsen as a result of this display of official antagonism to the Muslim Brotherhood and to rule no 2.<br /><br />It's that old dilemma all over again. During the revolutions in North Africa for example, the Jewish leaderships said nothing divided as they were between their distate of colonialism and the prospect of second class status. So they said nothing - at least no official voice to my knowledge ever told people whose side they should be on. And they lost. <br />I think this Coptic pope made the right call.Sylvianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12677825.post-35716932167929755632011-03-19T23:40:26.233+00:002011-03-19T23:40:26.233+00:00"there is an Amazigh movement asking for auto..."there is an Amazigh movement asking for autonomy"<br />They can't be asking for autonomy since the King himself is Berber on his mother's side. But they have been asking for recognition of their language and culture and its revival. In his March 9 speech in response to the February demonstrations, King Mohammed VI promised that "Amazighity will be at the center of Moroccan identity."<br /><br />I think Mazel is confusing with the Western Sahraoui (Front Polisario Movement), who are asking for their independence from Morocco. If so, these are supported by Algeria, Spain and other countries as well as by the Palestinians.Sylvianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12677825.post-55525657430219850502011-03-19T22:22:58.666+00:002011-03-19T22:22:58.666+00:00This is a good article.

I heard Zvi Mazel [former Israeli ambassador to Egypt & Sweden, etc] at a talk on Tuesday evening in Jerusalem given by Gilles Kepel, a French specialist who was talking about the recent Arab "revolutions." Mazel asked Kepel about this very subject, the subject of the article, since Kepel had not touched on it in his lecture, as I recall. Kepel answered but was rather evasive.
