More news about France and the Ivory Coast. Apparently France believes that the UN Peacekeepers there should be allowed to use force to protect the civilians. I'm a bit confused as to if there's already a resolution in place or if he's calling for a new upgraded one or not. There was a resolution mentioned though, and according to the Al Jazeera reporter in New York, the resolution calls for all means necessary to protect civilians. (which seems to be even more broad then it is for Libya perhaps. I don't think the US has much involvement in this though. Could be wrong of course.) ---------- Post added March-25th-2011 at 04:42 PM ---------- Ok, here's an article I found: http://uk.news.yahoo.com/18/20110325/tpl-un-under-pressure-as-ivory-coast-on-383fe17.html It appears France has been trying of late to force the UN to actually do it's job. ---------- Post added March-25th-2011 at 05:02 PM ---------- In Syria Protesters throw shoes at and tear down poster of Assad the father and the son http://twitter.com/acarvin H9_BOjkD2wY dz56DBwjLdQ ---------- Post added March-25th-2011 at 05:24 PM ---------- JORDAN http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-12776418

For a dictatorship, I guess. I think they're somewhat less violent on their own people than other Middle East governments have been. But it's been pretty much the same people in power for decades (not to mention the monarchy).

http://twitter.com/AlanFisher The UN Refugee Agency spokesman on Al Jazeera seemed happy with the move. ---------- Post added March-25th-2011 at 12:00 PM ---------- http://twitter.com/tweetminster http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-12776418 Jordan should be smart and head these protests off with immediate reforms. (And I don't mean immediate long term promises)

More dead in Syria today after security forces fired on protesters in Daraa again. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-12776418 I think around 10,000 were reportedly killed by the Syrian government back then in Hama.

YEMEN http://english.aljazeera.net/news/europe/2011/03/201132513041139452.html From what I'm hearing on Al Jazeera and seeing on Twitter it seems that discussions for him to step down between himself and the military haven fallen through for the time being. He came out defiantly this morning and made it seem as if he has no intention of going anytime soon. There is much tension in Yemen this morning, especially in the capital of Sanaa, where many fear a serious battle could break out at any time. http://twitter.com/Nefermaat http://twitter.com/NoonArabia SYRIA http://blogs.aljazeera.net/live/middle-east/syria-live-blog-march-25

Syrian Security Forces have withdrawn from the mosque in Daraa that they had surrounded and blocked off. The protesters are now inside again cheering and celebrating. State TV reports that the celebrations are in response to the newly promised reforms. http://twitter.com/BBCWorld http://twitter.com/Reuters http://twitter.com/Razaniyat http://twitter.com/SyrianWoman

Are you saying his presidency is in a vegetative state?

Lots of people dead in Daraa Syria after protests yesterday http://english.aljazeera.net/news/middleeast/2011/03/2011323153056287399.html Some of these are gruesome videos, folks. So watch at your own risk. http://twitter.com/acarvin Apparently the earlier mosque protest in a couple of those videos seems to have been from Damascus Syria, but a few days back on the 18th. Still...a sight to see.
