Tunisian President Moncef Marzouki writes a good op-ed for the NYT stating that the “Arab Spring” is not over and hasn’t had it’s progress rolled-back by recent protests in the region.
He states that the violent protests of the last 2 weeks just involved a very small minority of extremist groups that do not represent the majority of Muslims there. He also maintains that the conversion to democracy still remains the utmost concern in the new Middle East.
