For Arab Youth, Dreams May Be Deferred

In Jiddah, Saudi Arabia, a young blogger plays what he believes is his role in the youth revolution.

'This is Hass Dennoui. I'm a Saudi citizen. I've hit the 26,000 mark — 26,000 hits on the blog.'

Dennoui produces a popular website that features Arab hip-hop. He has introduced Saudi listeners to Egyptian artists with lyrics that reflect the politics of dissent and the celebration of a youth uprising that overthrew an Egyptian autocrat.

'When you include revolution in it, people get more interested,' he says. 'You can revolt by a song, you can revolt by a picture, you can revolt by an article — and that's the beauty of it.' : NPR
