This topic was discussed on World Have Your Say on 10 June, 2011. Listen to the programme.
Here's the spectacular venue where Ros, Simon, Krupa and Naveena from the WHYS team - with colleagues from the ´óÏó´«Ã½ Arabic Service - are preparing for today's programmes on the Arab Uprisings.
We're on air at 1600GMT on ´óÏó´«Ã½ World News TV (one hour later than normal) and 1700GMT / 1800GMT on ´óÏó´«Ã½ World Service radio (usual times) and we hope you can join in.
We're going to focus on these areas, as they seem to be much discussed at the moment ...
1. Why the difference in the response from the UN in Syria compared to the response in Libya?
2. How do you fix economies slowed down by the Arab Uprisings? If economies are taking a serious hit - was it worth it?
3. The role that capitalism and Islam should play in future Arab societies.
And of course, if there are any other points you'd like to discuss, you can post them here.
You can get involved in the conversation on Twitter with and .
By the way - if our team in Cairo is glistening on your screens a little more than usual, here's why:
@rosatkinsÌýI'm looking at what I'll call a 'three-shirter'. A colleague just asked me if I'd been in the pool. If only...
I'm with the team in London (where it certainly isn't 34C / 93F!) reading your contributions and we'll be taking your calls during the programme too. Speak to you later.
