I stumbled upon this account Alger Press report published by the symposium held in Tunis last year and the theme Young the challenges of today and in the light of liberation movements currently being done by the youths of the country Arabic (Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, Yemen and perhaps tomorrow Iran and Algeria), in open conflict with the old theocracies and local tyrants who would deprive them of any future content of the speech required so do not fail to leave dreamer:
" The work of the 22nd Symposium on" Youth and the challenges of Today "began on Tuesday in Tunis with the participation of representatives of 60 parties from Arab countries, Africa and Europe. The delegation includes Aboudjerra Soltani, Chairman of the Movement of Society for Peace (MSP), Abdelhamid If Afif, a member of the Politburo of the party's National Liberation Front (FLN) in charge of External Relations and the Algerian community abroad and qu'Abdessalem Bouchouareb, Board Member National National Democratic Rally (RND). Participants in this two-day symposium, organized by the Democratic Constitutional Rally RCD) Tunisian debate three main themes: youth and change benchmarks, "" Youth and the Digital Revolution "and" Youth and Participation politics. "
On this occasion, the Tunisian president, Zine El Abidine Ben Ali, stressed that countries, communities and international organizations should recognize the role of youth, taking into account their concerns and support efforts in this direction. In the opening speech read by his Prime Minister Mohamed Ghannouchi, Tunisian President has emphasized the role of educational institutions and spaces media and cultural values in the anchoring of sacrifice, volunteerism and solidarity among young people. In this sense, the Tunisian Head of State stressed that "give confidence to future generations, preparing them to take responsibility, prevent the dangers of exclusion and marginalization is a responsibility incumbent on all, particularly political parties.
Need to open dialogue with young
TUNIS - The president of the Movement of Society for Peace (MSP), Aboudjerra Soltani, said on Tuesday in Tunis, need to open channels of dialogue with young people and listen carefully to their concerns and aspirations. Speaking at the work of the 22nd Symposium on "Youth and the challenges of today", organized by the Democratic Constitutional Rally (RCD) of Tunisia, Mr Soltani said that dialogue is the only way to motivate young who are disinterested in their country, their religion, their history and their cultural values and civilization. "He also stressed the need to empower young people to have confidence in their abilities and skills. He added that young Arab and Muslim and especially the youth of the world in general is facing a paradox between everyday life and the ideal life as represented by the media.
Globalisation has a strong impact on young people, encouraging them to sometimes "rebel against all things" and to challenge their conditions of life, "said President of the MSP. He also felt that the constructive and fruitful dialogue with young people is the solution to the disarray in this category and must, he said, be no exclusion or marginalization.
For his part, Abdessalem Bouchouareb, politburo member National Democratic Rally (RND) stressed the importance of the theme "Youth and the digital revolution," inscribed on the agenda of the meeting, highlighting the "predominant" granted by the African Union sector of Information technology and communication (ICT). It was in this sense, said the symposium in Tunis coincides with the holding of an international congress on strategic development of ICT under the theme "Africa for a digital. Algeria, which has 70% of young people aged under 30 years, sees the knowledge economy as a main axis of development including ICT, he said.
For its part, Abdelhamid if Afif, politburo member of the National Liberation Front (FLN) in charge of relations Affairs and the Algerian community abroad has stressed the need to work to support the youth category for it to be up to the challenges of globalization. "

be found for less fun to see that on this occasion were invited all political parties in power for decades without sharing block the companies they provide authoritative guidance (the Algerian FLN, the Tunisian DRC) and represent more of a problem, a barrier for youth always numerically greater in these countries, a political solution. Through the intervention of elders in uniform who in the circumstances symposium comes the conservative discourse that rehash the same platitudes: Youth is no longer up to the values held by its historically despotic fathers ("lost interest in their country , religion, history, cultural values and civilization "), she not only squares and proposed statutes (" volunteerism, sacrifice and solidarity "sic) by our gracious philanthropists, nourishes not an opposition" against any thing "but against the economic and social conditions they suffer and whose chattering of this symposium is surreal primarily responsible, we must make a place for young people without giving a place, nor any change in our privileges ... More ominously, that eats other youth aspirations and ambitions that seem to fear and deplore this friendly veterans: influenced by "globalization" that goes beyond the local potentates, determined to escape poverty in their society is a common good which is a private ruling caste and friends, familiar because of new communication technologies, more educated than his prison guard, having never experienced the colonial and liberation struggles, or their lies established, it is emerging as a social actor, politically unpredictable, with whom he would count (which calls rude and patronizing to a "generous and constructive dialogue"): yet when the Tunisian youth manifesto, claiming to participate in politics, is a requirement of reform and social justice with a sense of responsibility ... The DRC has recently shown in vain and the zeal with which he can bring "their" solutions to police claims expressed. Behind the wooden language of the symposium, its unintentional humor, its content pataphysical doubt, it is especially the blindness political elite gathered here the most striking, recalling the posture of a De Gaulle himself either did not see the oncoming youth uprising in May 1968: demographic weight of youth away from tradition, lack of prospects social mobility, educational level, lack of pluralism and political freedom, resources and co-optation of the best places by a clique of bureaucrats pensioners ... all conditions are met to put young people in the street or the nationalism of the struggles of decolonization, or political Islam, ideologies have often diverted the youth uprisings in favor of careerist politicians who exploit them, seem for the moment able to stop this juggernaut. Probably left in France is to be half satisfied: no witchcraft trials of big capital, "globalization" of international finance ... but an aspiration to liberal democracy that would probably not surprised a Tocqueville, confirmation that political democracy is not an exception in Western's particularism, which would allow the rest of the world's worst tyrannies in the guise of cultural exception. Right, there are already concerns the weight of its Islamist insurgency, we still rocked the incompatibility culturalist fables companies Muslim with democratic life, we regret almost blind despotism of Ben Ali. Emmnuel Todd speaks aptly of "normalization" to the extent that the current trend continues the liberal revolutions that have marked the history of Europe and allowed the existence of democratic states. They undermine the fictions "communists" and "socialist" and use incantations to "peoples" (a term that has replaced rhetoric and symbolism of the ancient proletariat), the reforms demanded by young people (sharing of power and wealth, redistribution of seats, end corruption, freedom and political pluralism) show more from the emergence of an autonomous civil society argues that his rights as a strengthening of state power and bureaucracy that has often been a force of oppression. It remains to add youth to social demands for political demands: jobs, education, mobility, solutions "socialist" implemented for example in Algeria, along the lines of the USSR, by the FLN demonstrated their ineffectiveness, the FLN grow in power of its bureaucracy and military police to find opportunities to unemployed youth with no future because he has never managed to create economic dynamism expected since independence. The oil and gas revenues redistributed to the state bureaucracy to buy social peace and relative to ensure the loyalty of those without whom the state could not operate, depriving the opposition of the levers required to take and exercise power. Solutions of socialists and communists have characterized the choice of countries emerging from colonial rule: liberalism pace the NPA has never been a teacup government installed after the liberation movements which have always been careful to keep monopoly on economic wealth, leaving only for those seeking a better life the solution of emigration or a career in the military bureaucracy. Outside the great ideologies now powerless (bankruptcy of Marxism, distrust of perceived U.S. imperialism, lack of Europe, rejection of nationalism and Islamism), these youth movements are a unique laboratory that can rest on no historical precedent and must invent new solutions to the problems they pose.
