Lebanese observer: only a matter of time before Tunisian revolution sweeps through Arab world: "The Tunisia crisis could highly spread throughout the Arab world and threaten the 'authoritarian' Arab governments, says a former ambassador to the UN.
In an interview with Press TV, Clovis Maksoud, Lebanon's former ambassador and permanent observer of the League of Arab States at the United Nations added that Tunisia uprising is a wake-up call for the Arab world.
'It's going to be infectious in several other areas in a manner that might not necessarily lead to bloodshed but [could] weaken the authority [in many Arab countries],' Maksoud told Press TV.
Tunisian President Zine El Abidin Ben Ali fled the country on Friday after a month of popular revolt that claimed dozens of lives. He had earlier fired his government and announced early elections."
