When the BBC reporter Sue Lloyd Roberts asked an official at the Saudi Embassy in London if Saudi Arabia could also be shaken by opposition movements, the latter retorted with a grin that demonstrations would not have the same impact elsewhere "because no television channel will dare to cover the event as Tunisia, Egypt or Libya." I thought about zapping that sentence on my small screen in search of stories about events in the Saudi kingdom, or the police who were deployed en masse in order to nip in the bud.
In vain. Everything I found was information terse, without pictures, about events that took place in the East, where Saudi Arabia's Shiite minority lives. Sue Lloyd Roberts had obtained a visa after six months of waiting to do a story on women in Saudi Arabia. It was therefore found in the country when she learned that things were happening in Ahsa [Eastern Saudi].
She had made and it was observed. However, luck was not with her until the end, since men of the police had rushed on her and her cameraman to confiscate the memory card with images and to bring the two to Riyadh then put them in the first plane to London. This shows that there are two kinds of revolts, the "good" and "rogue".
We must openly support the former, but silence and contain seconds. Thus, the Bahraini protesters complain bitterly that the Arab media are not interested in them while they are fighting for the same reasons as before them Tunisians, Egyptians and Libyans. Can they argue that the peaceful forms of protest they have chosen are not telegenic enough? Should it happen that the blood flows to a country that is interested in? The case of Yemen shows that this is the wrong explanation.
Not only the blood flows through it daily, but in addition, an impressive number of protesters would argue in favor of intense media coverage. Yet again, the opposition is upset that this does not seem to supply Arab satellite channels. The situation for the strangest of Oman, which has seen several young manifetstaions demanding reforms.
This country still offers the necessary ingredients to attract the media: Oil, poverty and unemployment and also [a geostrategic situation of great importance] It did not happen. All these countries face protests, and will know more in the future. Why leave them orphans of the media coverage?
