This event remind me of Indonesian student’s protest which ended up in President Suharto’s resignation. Most Arab speaking countries (in Asia or Africa’s continent) are undemocratics . They are ruled by an authoritarian presidents for life, military dictators, kings and emirs . Interestingly, most of them are supported by the US. It’s the first Middle Eastern revolution since 1979 Iranian revolution. The West and the US, beware!

Guardian reports

Tunisia”s president Zine al-Abidine Ben Ali has fled his country after weeks of mass protests culminated in a victory for people power over one of the Arab world’s most repressive regimes.

Ben Ali had taken refuge in Saudi Arabia, at the end of an extraordinary day which had seen the declaration of a state of emergency, the evacuation of tourists of British and other nationalities, and an earthquake for the authoritarian politics of the Middle East and north Africa.

After hours of conflicting reports had him criss-crossing southern Europe by air, the Saudi state news agency confirmed he had arrived in the kingdom together with his family. Earlier, French media reported that Nicolas Sarkozy had refused Ben Ali refuge, although France denied that any request had been received.
