The under pressure governments of the Middle East and North African countries, engulfed by a wave of protests, are resorting to force. Libya, where activists have called for a day of anger, is the latest to see violence on its streets.
In Bahrain, security forces charged thousands of demonstrators. At least three people were killed and more than a hundred injured. Tear gas and bullets were used against those demanding reforms by the country's ruling monarchy. Yemen has seen six days of unrest. Over 2,000 policemen tried to put down rallies calling on the country's president to go. And fresh clashes between pro and anti-government demonstrators have erupted in Iran, after massive opposition protests on Monday left two people dead. In Egypt where the military has replaced the government, at least temporarily, strikes are gaining force.
