The scene in Tunisia has become a backlog of problems, while tried to protesters Tunisian angry Monday days before entering the forced oil facility in the "Alcamor" near Tataouine in southern Tunisia despite the fact that the army is protected, and resulted in most of the facilities and oil fields stopped production, and transportation companies cut operations oil transportation.

Aoun also pointed to the numerous occasions witnessed a movement against the authority that is sometimes faced by responding to the requests of the protesters, and at other times, "responded with repression of power, pairing between the carrot and the stick," according to the recipe. And he went to Aoun that what happened in the territory of Al_husam "is only renewed protests accumulated repeated."

In contrast, some of the Moroccan scene experts believe that the Arab Spring has no place in this country after the situation has changed, and so wrote the Maghreb researcher Ali Anouzla "that what is happening today in Morocco can not read it without linking it with what happened and is happening in many countries "Arab spring", which saw the counter-revolutions closed arch which opened the piece spring "and concluded Anouzla that the kingdom is going in the way of a gradual return to the first box.
