He shared his thoughts and predictions on the Middle East. The dominoes have begun falling. Tunisia, Egypt, Bahrain, to Iran and now Libya. Civil unrest brought on by social networks and international headlines, has spread. Libya became the international focus Monday. There were government reprisals against protestors, but there was has also been a call to Moammar Gaddafi to resign. He has been the dictator in that country since a military coup in 1969. Professor of International Studies, Dr. Jacek Lubecki, was a guest on Today's THV at 6:30. He is of the opinion that these disturbances will produce lasting results in the Middle East. He is optimistic over Egypt's chances of producing a democracy, but it's too early to tell in the other countries. Bahrain for instance, is primarily Shiite, but is ruled by a Sunni royal family. Each country offers a different set of circumstances. However, Lubecki says, that in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, and Dubai, where the oil revenue is greater, there is less of a chance of civil unrest. Dr. Lubeck invited viewers and those interested in knowing more to an open forum being held Friday at UALR. It's set for noon and will consist of a conversation among five UALR experts, including an Egyptian professor.
