The Japan earthquake is absolutely tragic, and the people affected have all my sympathies. I admire the Japanese people's ability to handle a catastrophe of such gravity, and especially the courage and self-sacrifice of the power plant workers still fighting to save the rest.
However, quite contrary to how it may seem, at least in parts of the media world that I'm connected to, things have not come to a standstill in the Arab world. Concerned and connected citizens are still demonstrating around the Middle-East and North Africa. And, not to forget, fighting for their own and others' lives and freedom.
As if that shouldn't be enough, this article in Al Jazeera, by Nouriel Roubini, highlights another reason not to forget what's going on in the Arab world.
Please read, think and comment!
