New Arab leaders

The British daily the Times in its Tuesday issue spoke about the future of a new generation of Arab leaders in Jordan, Bahrain and Morocco. The paper noted that the signals given and indications from those leaders are much better than had expected.

The paper said that authority has passed smoothly to the new generation in Morocco, Jordan and Bahrain, a matter which has reinforced the hope that the generation of the new leaders who are equipped with Western culture, have practised the Internet, the information technology and the computers, will be able to head forward with a less "autocratic" attitude, while the first pioneers of Arab leaders are ailing.

For its part, the British Daily Telegraph said in this respect that whenever there are heirs that are already nominated, they will be eventually expected to do more than they can.

The paper added that the new generation, the generation of the international elite of the 1960s had received their education in the US or Britain, not in the desert, and are hoped to have a better consideration for democracy and pluralism than that advocated by their fathers.
