8:20 pm
realized. but changes of government have brought few nations close to democracy. ending the brutal four decade rule of moammar cad after fee, but it looks less like revolution and the first of a long civil war. in egypt, two presidents have been overthrown,. and the president al cease cease, has come down hard on descent, particularly in the morsi brotherhood. currently, reviving the police state. protests in yemen will quickly hijacked by political groups with an agenda. the president of three years, and i remains a powerful figure. the loyaleists with the muslim
8:21 pm
brotherhood for control. and last month, the houthis, the truce between the houthis and yemen's government has unraveled. the most tragic is the almost complete disintegration of syria. almost 200,000 syrians have been killed and millions are displaced inside and out of the country. the state of iraq and lavant with isil run, thousands of foreign fighters. tunisia has gone further along the path to knock than any other country caught up in the arab spring, but in iraq to fight isil more than any other country in the world. anxiety is mounting but it's success could be destroyed by their return. >> to discuss more about the effects of the arab spring h. let's bring in a specialist
8:22 pm
lectorrer for eastern studies at rutgers university, and bener man, an analyst from the state department from washington d.c. gentlemen, great to have you with us. >> thank you. >> starting with you e. there's a growing phase of discontent here, and the question is, is the arab spring over? >> i don't think it's over. it's going through a very difficult transition, and that's what every revolution goes through. the french revolution took many years, years of blood baths in paris, and men and women, but when they went to the street in early to late 2010 and early 2011, they wanted democracy, and they wanted dignity, and they wanted opportunity, and they wanted to be recognized and wanted the end of corruption, and yes, they were happy to see foreign dictators
8:23 pm
in a short period, but that's not what they expected to see, after taking over in the early days of the revolution. now we have gone through this transition, and i think it's not over yet. but that mon -- the moment, the arab people went to the streets, and after 42 years, i think time will turn around and they will come back and say this is not what we revolted against, and we have to continue. >> it's not over yet. former president, jimmy carter shares your thought, and he wrote in year that the democratic process takes patience and does it take decades to mature? >> i think there's a problem with the idea that liberal democracy as the only change
8:24 pm
this in the middle east. clearly, the young people that wanted change, you haded evolution from the arab identity. and that was starting to change, and they sort of isolated the minorities and all of the problems in the region that broke down into sectarian fighting between sunni and she a. and now you see the new challenge in the sunni community where they're fighting over the identity, who is a sunni arab? >> when you mentioned the hope and progress, and you mentioned this four years later, bowhead you look for hope and progress moving forward when you're looking at groups like isis? >> . >> the days of the revolution, this revolution has proved that other people are against the
8:25 pm
kind of thing, and this is what the people want. a multiparty system, and change in authority. expression of opinion. and that's what the people want. now, we see tunisia, and arab is looking for tunisia, and they will coexist. all. moderate supremacy groups, and the election will give home for other groups to isolate those extremists presented by isis. i know isil needs an operation, and it needs to be taken out, and that's why so so many groups are getting together to operate on this strange body that has been put in the middle of the heart of the arab world. and i think that it has no
8:26 pm
future there. it's an isolated group, and it has no popular embracement by the populous there. so it looks like it's very strong now, but it cannot survive without this popular embracement. >> let's talk about tunisia where it began, and voting in tunisia's elections, serving in the success of the country's revolution. >> reporter: violence and instability loom large in a country set to cast an historic vote. security forces track a group of people in a suburb of the capital of tunis. hiding out, killing the fighters, including five women. the police officials say they were arm and would planning to disrupt the country's political process. the way it happened as millions
8:27 pm
are getting ready to elect a new parliament. this is the leader of the secular tunisians call the one likely to make significant gains. members of the former government and the president are also taking part in these elections. one of them is command, serving as the foreign minister. >> my priority is security, given the rise of terrorism here and in the region. and i'm also determined to fix the economy and build strong ties with the international community. >> they face a dark challenge from the party. tunisia's system is based on representation. no party is likely to win a majority. but for the leader, consensus is the only way forward.
8:28 pm
>> the lessons from egypt and other countries, is that a transitional period, a significant majority won't be able to solve the country's problems. you have to have an extended coalition, and to do that, you need consensus. >> the election and with four years of transition that was marred by violence and instability and a deep thing rift between conservatives and sec lars. >> i think that it's defining politics. tunisia will basically stand on the election, and the country has some kind of opportunity to rebuild society and rebuilding the state. and i guess -- >> tunisia's future will be decided by mor more more than 5n voters, and half of them are undecided. this is where four years ago thousands of tunisians took to
8:29 pm
the streets to announce government oppression. the demand for freedom inspired millions across the arab world. and now millions wonder if tunisia will once again being a model for the peaceful transition to democracy. aljazeera, tunis. >> we're continuing the conversation with the center for middle eastern studies, and the former middle east analyst for the state department. mr. bannerman, have you seen these elections shaping the future. >> well, clearly, tunisia is the case, it's a relatively small country with 12 million people, and they are blessed with an islamic party that's very modern and understands the need for con sense , and tunisia has the best chance for success, and one has to be very
8:30 pm
concerned, the fact that there are 3,000 tunisian fighters fighting with isis in syria and iraq, and these people, when they come back to tunisia have a potential of being a long-term security problem for that country and will challenge democracy in the state. >> we have rising terrorism as mr. bannerman meng and would some say that life was better before. >> you can't compare. some say in a we would be better with gadhafi like in libya, and syria, and now we can look at it this way. now tunisia is modern, and what's good about tunisia that the external interference was an important factor. with the other countries, in the case of egypt and in the
8:31 pm
case of bahrain and yemen and syria, as you have libya and a lot of groups fighting, if in the case of tunisia, yes, they have difficulty, but we have to give tribute to the european union, who have experience for the union. they have supported, and they have advised and not interfered in the fabric of the political life in tunisia the way they have been in other countries, and that's why i think tunisia, soon well see recovery and the country has a lot of potential. it's a very great country, and they have a lot of potential with tourism and culture, and the trade with the european union. so i think that recovery in tunisia is looming. >> mr. bannerman, i want to get your thoughts on the future of libya and syria. >> well, those are two of the worst cases going.
8:32 pm
clearly in syria, the entire social fabric of the country has broken down, and the war is continuing. the amazing thing to those of us sitting in the west is the viability of the assad regime, and how he has been able to hold onto the syrian population that supports him. and i think that syria is in for a long, difficult period. and libya is in chaos, and it's a trouble for its neighbors, for tunisia and egypt. you have in that country all sorts of very different groups of people. and some are very nasty and harmful to their neighbors. >> did the arab spring change foreign policy in washington at all, mr. bannerman. >> of course. i think we saw the arab spring in&the liberal democratic phase, and we saw it in our own
8:33 pm
image, where we're heading. i don't think that we saw the underlying changes in society and understood all of the things that were going on in the region. therefore, the american policy has changed toward the region and we're less optimistic today. but we're still behind the curve, and i think that's a problem that washington has. things are changing in the region, much more quickly than we can adapt. >> are there policy that's need to be developed in washington? >> i think the policies in washington were hesitant in the beginning, and didn't know where to stand. the egyptian president, mubarak, on january 28th, said that we can solve the problems of the world. and they were hesitant in syria, beginning their support with the liberal element of the syrian army, and changing course, and they allowed this kind of -- and i think the u.s. has to stand now and think,
8:34 pm
what direction they want this region to go. do they want it to go through a true democracy? do they want to see more respect of human rights, and more empowerment women? if they want to, they have to stand with these forces who are advocating this, always saying, these are american. and so there are forces there, and they might be marginalized, especially with the trade unions, and the middle class. they are there, and they need to reach out with them, empower them, train them. and i think the potential of the country and the region is enormous if these groups come to power. >> quickly, wha what do you is e worst situation in yemen? >> the worst situation is the war, and with the groups in yemen, we don't know how the groups are going.
8:35 pm
the houthis, and knows this the south, calling to break up that part of the country, and there are tribal leaders, they're all fighting with each other. and now there's no real clear cut policy to bring those together into a national catalog and bring them back to see the country. >> mr. banner, i want to get your final thoughts, how will history judge them? >> i think that they will see this as a period for the middle east. but we're in for a long period of instability if chaos and we don't know how it's going to make. so it's early to make a judgment. >> i if thank you. i appreciate your time.
8:36 pm
>> an aljazeera america special series. we sit down with two survivors who share their harrowing stories.
8:37 pm
8:38 pm
