摘要

The dusty little town of Laayoune lies at the extreme western end of the Sahara desert, or about as far as you can get from Arabia and still be in an Arabic-speaking land. Before this century its only links to the Arab east were shortwave radio, old newspapers, the occasional Egyptian movie, and the talk of pilgrims returning from the haj. But now the clamour of places such as Beirut and Baghdad has come to Laayoune's doorstep: indeed, right into its living rooms, 24 hours a day. Across the Arab world, the impact of the satellite dish has been profound. It has not merely broken the isolation of Laayoune and countless other towns and villages (roads and telephones can do that). It has not simply exposed their people to extremes of behaviour, from stark pornography to fervid fundamentalism (the internet can do that). Satellite television has created a sense of belonging to, and participation in, a kind of virtual Arab metropolis. It has begun to make real a dream that 50 years of politicians' speeches and gestures have failed to achieve: Arab unity.
