Moroccan FM Warns ‘Arab Spring’ Can Quickly End

FORBES: NEW YORK -- Morocco's foreign minister is warning that the current "Arab spring" can quickly end if the transitions in Egypt and Tunisia don't lead to real democracy.

Taieb Fassi-Fihri says he plans to tell U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton at a meeting Wednesday in Washington that the Group of Eight major industrialized countries should launch a new initiative to ensure that democratic principles and institutions are entrenched in Tunisia and Egypt. » | Associated Press | Tuesday, March 22, 2011
