Are Islamist Nations at Crossroads?

One of the Few African Presidents who spoke of the North Africa Uprisings early on when it was raw, this was in March.

Amani Abeid Karume, former president of Zanzibar, recently addressed the Boston University community regarding January's events in Tunisia and Egypt.
"To attempt to speak on such a subject risks many errors," he said, "but any such errors are worth the risk because of the potential important lessons to learn." Within a span of a month, two North African regimes in Arab-Muslim states were crushed, beginning with the January 14 Tunisian uprising against President Zine el-Abidine Ben Ali, followed by the fall of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak a few days later. 
In his lecture, Karume addressed both the reasons behind the Egyptian and Tunisian revolutions and the consequences they've had on Africa, the Middle East, and the West.
