From the Guardian:

While all eyes are on Libya, rumblings persist elsewhere in the Arab world.

In Yemen, President Ali Abdullah Saleh has rejected demands that he step down and described demonstrations against his regime were unacceptable acts of provocation, though he renewed calls for talks with the protesters.

Meanwhile, a Yemeni teenager was killed and four people were wounded in a clash with soldiers in the southern port of Aden. The death brings to 12 the number of people killed in unrest in Yemen since Thursday.

-------------------------------------------

I think people over there are waiting for Libyan events to end before they escalate their protests in order to get rid of their own dictator.

    Nothing will happen. Jordanians are MANAYEK, TANTAAT they act tough but when the time of need comes they all hide.

    So KO, when are you guys starting protests in Saudi? :D
    It's complicated here. It won't happen soon :D

    What Saif Al-Islam Gaddafi was talking about in his speech yesterday actually applies to Saudi Arabia. Right now, If anything happens, it'll be chaos all over the Gulf. Imagine what could happen when oil production stops for one day in Saudi Arabia.

    He called ALL Jordanians pussies.
    I saw that. Even here in Jordan some Jordanian people say the same because people here are paying one of the highest tax rates in the world, and have the highest prices of education and health relatively to the salaries. And even though, most of the people are so scared of walking in a demonstration.

    No matter what, you cannot call an entire nation a 'bunch of pussies'. As recent as 2010, who thought Libyans would revolt against Gaddafi? Who thought Egyptians would revolt against Mubarak or Tunisians against Ben Ali?

    I wouldn't say anything if he added the word 'most' before Jordanians.

    :agree:
    You also forgot to mention the great 'freedom of speech' that is in Jordan.

    A decent private school in Amman cost more than University in France. That's enough worth a demonstration.
    My parents paid almost twice more for me to study 4 years in a Jordanian school than for my sister to finish two Master degree in France. That's retarded.
    And don't let me started about the food priced here, about two or three months ago, Tomato was getting sold for the about the same price you would pay to buy a tropical fruit.

    And one other thing, ever had a fight with a Jordanian? He would start swearing and cursing, you get ready to beat his ass, he tells you to meet him @ a certain place @ a certain time (instead of fighting that moment) and he would bring all of his friends and relatives at the place to fight with him instead of fighting like a man on his own.
    'Wala Bafarjeeek!!!' 'Bte3raf meen 2na? bte3raf shu 3elti?'
    Jordanians are only good at talking, eating and farting.
    Many talk about making a change, only very few are ready to make that change.

    No matter what, you cannot call an entire nation a 'bunch of pussies'. As recent as 2010, who thought Libyans would revolt against Gaddafi? Who thought Egyptians would revolt against Mubarak or Tunisians against Ben Ali?

    All Americans fat, most Americans are fat
    All Italians greasy, most Italians are greasy

    Big difference?

    In signs of growing unrest, a bomb exploded during a protest in the south, killing one person and wounding two, a local official said. The explosion occurred in the town of Lawdar, where secessionist sentiment is rife, in the southern province of Abyan.

    The death brought to 16 the number of fatalities in a wave of nationwide protests against President Ali Abdullah Saleh's 32-year rule in the past week.

    Yesterday it emerged that seven members of parliament resigned in protest at violence used to quell demonstrations and called on Saleh to quit.

    Tourism minister sent the dictator today a letter advising him to have early presidential elections at the end of this year instead of 2013, and he suggested that the dictator should not be a candidate again nor his son.
