tunisia is unfolding in a different manner. that has been one of the leading forces pushing the country forward in a true experience of democratic governance. what are the conditions available? here i would like to highlight two key points. in most arab countries, we are still looking at constitutional frameworks which do not safeguard the economy of civil society acts. which undermines the autonomy and independence of citizens. there is a great deal of state control, and secondly, you can see that constituency building is not well regarded in most arab countries. there is not a comparable outreach with any democracy, either western or non-western democracy. we will not get to real security if we do not fix government issues. the two key issues we have to look at our how to put in place the right conditions for civil society organization to represent people's interests, different segments of the population, and a new social contract which is needed in most arab countries. secondly, how to safeguard key freedoms, which it is no

certainly, tunisia.t's hard to do that and to keep your society together in a security and regional environment. think about the environment in the middle east today. and to say to a leader -- we need you to take the risks of moving in this direction in a region that is in many respects, melting down. this is a hard thing that we are asking of leaders and we have to recognize. one of the things that we say is -- this is the attitude of the international community and it ought to be that if you are willing to make those hard decisions, we, the international community, will support you financially, but diplomatically -- financially, diplomatically. if you don't, we won't. not because we are being punitive, big -- but because in our judgment a would be a bad investment. a good investment would be to the countries who are willing to make these steps on the behalf of the people. because they are the most likely to result in long-term stability. but i think we have to recognize the difficulty of what we are as

in the right cases, tunisia and other areas as opposed to egypt. finally, once again what is it, what does it take to fix? it is to enable civil society to exist and then citizen demands to be addressed and be responded to. >> we are running shy on time. what i will do is take the two that i pointed to hear and take to from this side and we will just go through those questions and try to answer those questions and then we will be out of time. ma'am you had one. >> do behind you and then we will take you. >> hi, i am a jordanian consultant in development for the government. in going back to the gentleman's question regarding civil society, i have a lot of hope in civil society, but in the absence of political will on the parts of government, the space is very limited. i want to throw another group out there in the mix and perhaps this could be one other way of looking at it. the role of communities, there have been case studies and economic development but also promoting and strengthening government. thank you. >> and then two rows up. >> hi, concer

in tunisia, coincidences on the rise, because tunisia managed to put the institutions in place. they are out there, everyone's talking about them. but you still have a constitution, institutional framework in place which makes sense. what is missing in egypt once democracy moves back and is the institutional arrangements which people attempted after 2011 where they are going away and we are in between dividing what exists in 2011 and maybe going back to egyptian and the same goesfor a place for algeria , where no one knows what is happening. >> i'm going to ask madeleine to start on this one. it's interesting because the places you kept were algeria and the past authority. those are not traditional monocle societies. one of the things you may remember when we started this project, we said this is about a crisis of legitimacy in italy. we said of course legitimacy comes from the consent of the governed and we said wait, this is embedded in a sophisticated, there are other forms of legitimacy in regions based on tribal associations, religious affiliations, revolutionary ideology,

he was buried in tunisia. this statue was put up in his honor. about 1880, our friend mr. corcoran thought that his remains should be at oak hill cemetery. he made arrangements to ship, to exhume the body, ship the remains and the statue back to the united states. there was a story in "the new york times" at the time that said that payne's casket came in and stayed in the newark city hall for a week. tens of thousands of people came by to pay their respects. the next step was, it was brought to washington. it was set in what we know as the renwick gallery today. there were tens of thousands who came to pay their respects. when the time came to re-inter his remains, there was an event put together, and it was something like 3000 people who came to the event, and it included the president and congress members and congressional members and supreme court justices. john sousa's band played. the neighborhood was jammed. it was quite an event to do this reinterment of his remains. if you think about it, he was really a rockstar of the 19th century. we are very proud that he is pa

amy: talk about what happened in morocco in 2011, as opposed to what happened in tunisia and egypt.hat was similar and what was different? >> what we saw morocco was extraordinary. a lot of people do not really know about morocco, and really, the focus on the political development in the region are more on egypt and other countries that have to do with international politics like syria and palestine, so it was a bit of a surprise. but it was also a bit of a surprise for people themselves. i think the rediscovery of their agency, the fact that morocco saw mass protests in 2011 across the country, which is also, i think, slightly different from what we have seen elsewhere were often protest would con -- will concentrate on other cities. archaic.e you saw is spread all over. this we see again. it's started in villages where fikri is actually from, spread across the country in less than 12 hours. so i think the diversity and the way it spread across the country is quite unique and makes it very hard for the government to control it. i think that is one important factor of difference. th

one of the many reasons that tunisia had a happier post air in spring history in syria is because of the difference between enlightened authoritarianism in one case and unenlightened authoritarianism in another case. that today's issue of regime change. i have a rule that i've learned the hard way, which is if you intend to topple or invade coming you better be ready to govern. by toppling and invading, you heed moral responsibility upon yourself. once you remove authority, it is up to you to re-create another authority. and because that is such an onerous enterprise, you better have public support at home before you do something like that. in this way, our negative experiences in iraq and libya are very germane to this issue of would syria be better without bashar al-assad. damascus is the city of about 1.8 million. aleppo is a thing 2.1 million. damascus is where it is very inconvenient because of constant roadblocks, because people have to buy food on the black market. lots of other negative things. one thing about damascus today it is fairly free of large-scale violence. if you w

the world watched an uprising in tunisia and egypt quickly toppled their respective dictators.yrians took to the street to protest the rule of bashar al assad. instead of stepping down, he violently crushed the uprisings. many protesters armed themselves and the country took on a sectarian nature. sunnis and the saudis through their backing behind the rebels. shiites like the iranians gave the report to the regime. the islamic state used the term well to seize territory and attacked with sides. then there are major powers like the u.s. and russia. after a poison attack in 2013, the u.s. and russia cooperated to destroy syria's known chemical weapons. in general, the two powers have moved in very different directions in the war. the u.s. is against assad and russia supports them. both countries are actively fighting inside syria against islamic state and the al qaeda spinoff in the name of combating terrorism. russia uses the terrorist tag to bomb other groups, including rebels supported by the u.s. and there are syrian civilians in the middle of all this. devastated by the figh

the fact that neither of them have been able to be fully attained with the possible exception of tunisia, which is the full and only self-determine nat arab citizenry. the fact that these rights have not been attained reflects a combination of factors, organizational, institutional, international, counter revolutionary forces, counter democratic forces from the arab world, from the zionist movement in israel, from the western world. there are many different reasons. we know why we haven't achieved either palestinian nationhood and citizenship or arab true sovereignty and citizenship rights across the arab world. the important thing to recognize is that these are two dimensions of the same struggle, the reason the palestine issue continues to resonate, not just across the arab world but the entire world. you see this now perhaps the most common symbol of citizen resistance is the kafia. you see this all over the world. your people are struggling in china, belgium, chile, wherever and they have the kafia on and they don't do this because it is a fashion statement. they do it because it is

a lot of it has to do with the fact that he spent a lot of his time as a youngster in hawaii and tunisia, places that have interested him. we're anticipating a meeting with russian leader vladimir putin on the sidelines of the summit. on that agenda would be syria and the recent attacks in aleppo that have destroyed the last remaining hospital in eastern aleppo, we understand. the united states has strongly condemned that. we know that president obama and president putin have talked about syria in the past and not been able to broker any kind of a deal that would lead to a lasting cease-fire. the hope is that that might happen here during the sidelines of this summit. there is that as well. a very busy agenda here today and tomorrow for his final foreign trip. >> ron allen traveling with the president in lima peru, thank you, ron. >>> ahead, more on trump's meeting with romney. >>> and how jeff sessions, president-elect trump's pick for attorney general, could affect the country's civil rights laws. on my long-term control medicine. i talked to my doctor and found a missing piece in my a
