news just in..

Algeria has just said it is lifting its 19 year State of Emergency...i guess they're getting the message...

wow..its been 2 weeks and we've got the arab steet finally talking

- Tunisia - government overthrown
- Egypt - numerous concessions with mubarak agreeing to step down after next election
- Jordan - public demonstrations ongoing
- Algeria - State of Emergency lifted
- Yemen - President agrees not to seek another term as well as not pass on the presidency to his son


who'd have thought that in the space of a fortnight things would change so quickly.

the problem with yemen is that the government is a key ally to fight al qaeda in yemen. if Ali abdullah Saleh goes, who's going to replace him?
