This discussion will deal with these events seen from many perspectives: the view from inside with regards to the reasons and events that led to this revolution, a regional perspective how these events are seen by and influencing the countries of the Middle East, analysis of the reactions of EU and the USA, and finally, the role of the (social) media in these developments.
