Hey, Britain! Leave us Arabs Alone

                                                                                                              Hey, Britain! Leave us Arabs alone

It seems that European countries for which we continue to reserve sympathy and  admiration such as France and Britain no longer take delight in that. On the contrary, it is as if they have begun to do everything possible to cut such humanitarian and cultural ties that have kept us in good touch with them for decades.

Otherwise, what does Britain have to do with the "citizenship" of  us, Tunisians,  and  what is the logical relationship between this country and the "electoral awareness campaign" when the targeted population is “high school  pupils” of Tunisia, not of Britain, if it is not out of  dumb narcissism and out of  anti-civilization venture? (An agreement was signed on December 21, 2012, between the British embassy and our  ministry of Education, for funding a campaign   of "citizenship and electoral awareness for the benefit of high-school pupils.")

One needs to be drunk to take this deed as a good omen, and an insane  to accept it and apply it, and a culturally and civilisationally  extinct human  to let others think and decide in their place. And one is likely to ask what the goal of concluding this suspicious agreement  is, whether  Britons  are to become Tunisians and Tunisians  to become Britons, or if the fusion of the two nationalities, under  the pretext of globalisation,  has given any of the two parties the right to finance and supervise such programme, and whether it will no longer matter that Tunisians remain as such and Britons as such.

The signed convention feeds more suspicions as it is synchronized  with the “relay race” consisting in Britain taking over from France to fulfill  the imperialist anti-revolution project aiming at overthrowing the legitimate regime of Syria. Britain wants to hit two birds with one stone: to provide the populations of the "Arab Spring" with “democratic”  analgesics necessary to silence their  pan-Arab feelings towards their brothers in Syria, the land of  the True Spring, who are suffering from the crusade-driven siege undertaken under cover of revolution in order to force our entire nation to its knees.

 But Britain was not to slip over this dangerous slope if it did not find at its disposal, here in Tunisia, a sloping authority that does not care to guard the country's symbolic borders or to safeguard the dignity of this country, which is thousands of years old. Neither was Britain to alternate with France to push Syria toward hell if it did not find within each Arab country traitors deceivingly lured by agreements of humiliation and shame.

In all, and to parody the notorious muli-decade-old song “We Don’t Need No Education”, we Tunisians would love to sing, in earnest:

“We don’t need ‘no’ Intervention,

We don’t need ‘no’ thought control.

Hey, Britain! Leave us Arabs alone.”
