Al Jazeera said both: western influence is fueling protests now, and that it has in the past. Do they have evidence of current western intervention or is that just based on what they saw in the past?

Did Al Jazeera say the west was 'directly' involved? ... if not, they are technically correct. The west has more freedoms, including women's rights. So indirectly the west is influencing things by showing that women can have rights.

I think that the speaker implied more that western interests were helping to support and ferment this particular effort and stage directly, as had been, apparently historically the case. But I also noticed that they waffled, and I was looking for further clarity. I think any journalistic organization should be evidence-based

Isn't the government murdering and oppressing it's people, especially young woman what is fueling the protests?
