Abstract EN

When protests spilled over the Arab world by the end of 2010 and early 2011, many US policymakers and analysts were hoping that these movements will be the beginning of a new era in the region, as President Barack Obama described the uprisings as a "historic opportunity" for the US to go ahead as it should be to be ", as expressed by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton expressed confidence that the transformations that will allow Washington to move forward to achieve" security, stability, peace and democracy "in the Middle East.

However, the United States later in the annual world reports on human rights warned that hopes the first days of the vigilance of the Arab world has collided with the harsh reality of the incomplete transformations.

Instead of optimism that democracy finally overwhelmed the region, the process has been reversed and nostalgia publicly expressed for the old regime.
