What clues do/es something offer about ...?

「(ある出来事など)から...についてどのようなことが推測できるか、考えられるか?」

CNNの記事、'Egypt's protests: What's next?' By Richard Allen Greeneから。

'With unprecedented numbers of protesters on the streets of Egypt calling for President Hosni Mubarak to resign, what clues do earlier demonstrations in the region offer about what will happen in Cairo?

Results have been mixed.

Tunisia, a relatively small and apparently stable country on the Mediterranean, triggered the current wave of anti-government protests across the Middle East.

It had been ruled by President Zine El Abedine Ben Ali for 23 years and was seen as a well-established police state.

But in December 2010, a fruit seller named Mohamed Bouazizi, 26, set himself on fire in protest after police took away his fruit cart. The profoundly symbolic act of protest awakened a suppressed fury in the population.'
