Tunisia's grass roots revolution

The Jasmine Revolution should serve as a warning to all North African states that the will of the people can still forment change, even in the absence of strong opposition political groupings. As populations become younger and poorer, authoritarian regimes will come under increasing pressure to reform politically and economically. Creative solutions to youth unemployment will need to be found to meet the demands of an increasingly frustrated class. Ali's resignation is the beginning of the end for the current political elite in North Africa. Once Gaddafi and Mubarak pass on expect further revolution if reform does not follow.
