Before the revolutions came out , 22 different countries were under the rule of dictator regimes , except Lebanon , were they some freedom of speech , media & the public can criticize up to certain limits.
Our main subject here is how social networking , especially Facebook , helped in spreading out the protests throughout Tunisia , the revolution just ignored the geography & went straight to Egypt , were Facebook was the electronic journalist , it posted & gave people pictures , news & live videos for protests & how the police of the ousted Ben Ali & Mubarak suppressed the angry crowds in Burgeba's street & Tahreer's square .
On the 13th of February , a page came out of nowhere calling for protests against the huge corruption in the country's institutions (if there were any) . The protests started on the 15th , here in Tripoli we've been watching the news , Facebook pages & searching youtube for any new videos . Two days later , on the 17th , a page came out calling for overthrowing the corrupted regime , it worked out , but on the night of the 20th , 1000 martyrs fallen in Tripoli , when I was watching the videos on the fb pages , I'd never know how o express the feeling at that moment , but I knew that if i had the chance to join them , I'd never get back , I'll just do it , anyhow , pictures of martyrs where posted minute by minute , in all the neighborhoods , facebookers made their best to show the globe what the regime mercenaries were doing to innocent protestors .
Internet services were officially off on the 2nd or 3rd of March , from that time we've been watching the Media , waiting for the rebels to come & get rid of 42 years of corruption , death & sorrow .
Thanks Facebook for being a Co-factor in the start of these legendary Revolutions
God bless martyrs in Libya , Tunisia , Egypt , Syria , Bahrian & Yemen
God Bless Facebook & it's silly users (especially the 18- Libyans)
