Since the Tunisian pro-democracy protests in January, several other Middle Eastern nations have followed suit in displaying discontentment with their current autocratic regimes.
1. Egypt liberated itself soon after Tunisia.
2. Current media attention has been directed at Libyan protests that have turned violent. Unlike Mubarak, Gadhafi (Libyan President) has taken extreme measures against civilians to ensure he remains in power. He blames the press for misconstruing events in Libya. Click the link for info on Libya.
3. Unrest has been growing in Yemen.
4. Saudi Arabians under a monarch have reasons for discontentment. The current King has pledged 37 billion dollars in social aids for citizens in an attempt to prevent any unrest.
