Look How Fast The Global Uprising Spread

An excellent time-lapse of the outbreak and rapid spread of the Global Uprising across half of the world between December 18, 2010 and early March 2011.

So Many Countries Under Revolution It's Hard To Keep up

Been very slack here keeping track of the Arab Uprisings that have unleashed so much chaos and so many joyous scenes in the past 3 months.

But Antiwar has an excellent round-up :

• Morocco: Thousands take to the streets of Rabat and Casablanca demanding the king give up many of his powers.
• Algeria: Several injured as police broke up protests in central Algiers.
• Tunisia: Seeks the extradition of their former dictator to charge him with crimes related to the crackdown.
• Libya: Seriously? Too much stuff to mention in a single blurb.
• East Libya: Virtually a separate country at this point.
• Albania: Still facing growing unrest.
• Egypt: Strikes linger despite Mubarak’s ouster.
• Syria: Struggling to buy off growing protests with cash payments.
• Jordan: Eight injured as protests continue.
• Iraq: Protests across the south and in Iraqi Kurdistan.
• Iran: Major police presence, protests planned for later in the week.
• Bahrain: Protesters are still there, despite government crackdowns.
• Pakistan: Threats for revolution if govt releases Raymond Davis.
• China: Govt censors foreign news. Small protest at Beijing McDonalds.

Antiwar is one of the better sites to keep track of these revolutions, and the wars, in some countries, that will result.

The Guardian also has a more detailed round-up here, from February 20.
