My CNN article: How Arab youth found its voice -      

Ibrahim Mothana is a 22-year-old activist, writer and a community worker from Yemen. He is a youth ambassador for the Arab Thought Foundation. Follow him on Twitter:@imothanaYemen
When Mohamed Bouazizi set himself on fire in Tunisia in January, he did not only ignite a series of unpredicted revolts but also heralded the first appearance of Arab youth on the stage of modern history.
Young people in the Arab world, who had been undermined and perceived as a development burden on the region, became a promise of progress in a new era. http://t.co/Q4mFE3r
