Could we see the Egyptian revolution cause a chain reaction in the Central Asian countries? The Jasmine Revolution of Tunisia has sparked a fire that has been blowing eastward for the past couple of months. What is really interesting is the stories coming out of Syria and Russia of protests that are very much similar to the Tunisian and Egyptian revolts. There are many factors that need to be disseminated when discussing the reasons and circumstances as to why a revolution is needed. We cannot lump all the states together and brush it with one giant western stroke, but what we can say it that these countries have had rulers that have occupied their ruling seats for over decades. The events in Egypt have brought the presidents of the Central Asian countries to a halt. They are now closely watching how the events will unfold and how other leaders of the world will react to the change of powers. The main countries in Central Asia that I am mostly talking about are Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, and Tajikistan. The presidents of all three countries along with other Central Asian nations have had mini dictatorships which have been ruling the countries with iron fists for the past decade. So what does the future hold for these countries? could Nursulan Nazarbayev's recent refusal of a referendum be seen as a point taken due to current events? could we see the people of Central Asia mimicking the people of Egypt? Could these be the last years for the presidents of Central Asia?
