In Syria, hundreds have taken to the streets to protest the death of a demonstrator.
In Bahrain, protesters continue to demonstrate against the violence exacted against them by the police and army. The king has stated that he has defeated a foreign sponsored uprising. The regime also denies targeting doctors, many of whom were rounded up in nighttime raids.
In Yemen, three top generals have defected from the government to the opposition. President Saleh is currently in talks with one of these generals. Many are hoping for a "bloodless coup."
There is talk of a "five point plan" that includes goals of protecting protesters, investigating violence and crimes against these protesters, and the establishment of a timeline for the president stepping down.
Many are wary about the situation in this nation. There are armed members of the opposition protecting the demonstrations and some fear that violence may break out between these armed factions and the government's soldiers. Furthermore, one of the defecting generals has said that he will order his troops to defend the protesters.
