Royal Arab Republics – Talal Salman

The caliphate regime has not completely fallen, and even the "republics" that exist in parts of the Arab world are at the heart of its regime and its performance. If he declares himself "republic", his governor, often at the back of a tank, king "with many Semitic titles, the simplest of which is" His Excellency ".
Like his Majesty the King, he is not satisfied with a presidential term, he may be justified by the fact that his "people" convince him that the purpose of the renovation or extension is to preserve the country and guarantee future of glory, prosperity and well-being. Unshakeable and loyal to the state and its champion Alnadid.
… But some of the Presidents of the Republic have been in power more than some kings, and the powers are almost wider than their powers, and they have not left the excellent site. Death.
It is obvious that the "people" disappear with their majesty and majesty, and that the "people" return to their natural pastoralist position and that they are called "their great people".
It is also obvious that political parties are disappearing or dissolving into the party of the president and that communism becomes a little necessary or an Arab nationalist for a communist, as was the case in southern Yemen or on the left. "Isolation" as in Lebanon and in other Arab countries.

If the king is sacred to rule over life, some of those who have reached the highest rank have become "eternal" leaders or until the "messianic rebels" have eliminated them.
Some Arab countries ruled as colonel, captain, or even "sergeant first" officers, like Ali Abdullah Saleh in Yemen (and in Syria for a time with Lieutenant or Captain Hatoum).

In all these cases, the state institutions have been transformed into "Tikaya", from the "House of Representatives" which becomes "the People's Assembly" and the Council of Ministers, which turns into " dialogue seminar "or as an instrument to discuss the need for a decision. "
As the king's term is not limited to his age, so are the Arab rulers, who govern as long as "life suits them".
Do you think that this will change the situation and that the priorities will change and that the country endowed with democratic systems (chosen and supported by a system of government will increase) while these regimes are incapable of concealing the role of the army or to erase the role of tribe, clan or sectarianism ?!
Second, why do Western (and often distant) peoples not pay attention to the religion of the president (or even the king) or his doctrine, but rather to judge and judge him with his ability to realize or miss it, and keep the promises it's made before reaching and then not filling them Installed on the throne ?!
Is the failure of the lack of democracy due to the creation of the caliphate, after the departure of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and that he did not accept in his life to be president, king or emir, but only as messenger of Allah? But he left a question of consultation between them, although he confirmed the Quran, as in his speeches and messages, asserting that God is the people's people, and recommended that this matter be a shura among them, pointing out that the closest to them, Iqahm ..
Any naive one may wonder: is this the reason or is it one of the reasons that led to the assassination of three of the adult caliphs, and then the great sedition that led Is the King of McCain's estate taken by the sword and only leaves the owner by the sword ?!
The king, or the caliph, saw the new king or the new caliph, otherwise the royal family chose an heir, and his brother was often killed. To be judged …

So in the story. In the modern era, many Arab presidents, especially those from the army, were considered "saviors of the land" and "saviors of the people of sedition" and even allowed them to live. be called "eternal president", a living district.
The examples are numerous and painful:
President Habib Bourguiba, who died today, ruled Tunisia (in a democratic system) for 30 consecutive years. Although defeated in his last years by dementia, he had forgotten names and functions only in specific and temporary cases … The certificate of sponsorship had triggered a political activity against the French colonizer, led to the overthrow of the "bay" that reigned over Tunisia.

Colonel Muammar Gaddafi, who took power with a coup led by army officers to King Idris al Sinousi after the evacuation of some settlers from their land or allowing them to lead a federal state (of three states: the north, Tripoli and its environs, and Benghazi and its environs, on the border with Egypt and the south) and its border on the border with Chad ..).
He has reigned uniquely on Libya for over 42 years, he is an absolute ruler who has no resemblance to history, he is more than an emperor, he has a decision in matters of politics, economics, agriculture and thought, while people are only figures held by the people at the conferences of the sole organization of the Jamahiriya, Leader: the author of the theory presented in the "Green Book" and a collection of other books written during his spare time and dealing with issues of thought, economics, politics and religion in unusual ways and sometimes creative.

Gamal Abdel Nasser, who led the revolution on July 23, 1952, since 1956, led the revolution. Anwar Sadat, who headed in the opposite direction, signed a peace treaty with the Israeli enemy and arrested a speaker in front of the Knesset. He was shot dead during the celebration of the eighth anniversary of the "Victory of October" October 6, 1981.

He was replaced by President Hosni Mubarak, who led Egypt for 30 consecutive years and was overthrown by a popular uprising, before seizing his candidate, Mohamed Morsi, and overthrowing him with a popular uprising.

Syria led Hafiz al-Asad with a military coup for 30 consecutive years (1970-2000), then took office, succeeding the presidency of his son, Dr. Bashar al-Assad, who is in office until Today;

This is a brief overview of the history of the presidency in the Arab republics.
The history of kingdoms and their kings, emirates and their princes needs another break. The king is dead, the president lived the king.
Where does the best Arabic of tomorrow come from ?!
