Tunisia, Egypt, Yemen and Jordan...a red wave in the Arab world
Thousands of protesters are also taking the streets of Yemen and Jordan, calling for a change across the Arab World. In a period of few weeks, Tunisia’s government has fallen, Egypt’s is following the same course and countries as Jordan and Yemen are also revitalizing demands of movements in the same way, but with different aims.
The Yemeni protests are one more sign of turmoil in a region where governments characterized as repressive seem to be stumbling. Secularist and Islamist protesters demand the removal of President Ali Abdullah Saleh, seen as backing US decisions in the global fight against terrorism.
The Jordan Islamist opposition has also begun a wave of protests with 3,500 opposition activists in the streets accusing the government of rising prices, inflation and unemployment, whilst warning not to give up before reaching a political and economic transformation in the kingdom. Protesters, trade unions and leftist organisations shouted over the capital: "Send the corrupt guys to court". Another 2,500 people has demonstrated in six other cities calling for Rifai's upheaval.
In Egypt, clashes between police and hundreds of thousands anti-government protesters are getting more and more intense with people calling for President Hosni Mubarak to step down and screaming phrases such as “down, down with Mubarak” and “the plane is waiting for you”.
The impenetrable Arab regimes are now opening the doors to strong voices echoing through the countries and writing the history of one of the reddest Fridays ever.
Demonstrations of solidarity are being organized all over the world during today and tomorrow. Check for more information in Protest Europe FB group.
