Another day of high tension in the Middle East. Thousands took to the streets of Syria, Yemen and Jordan to protest against their respective regimes. Just as in the Brussels Summit of Heads of State and Government expressed concern about the crisis in both countries and in Bahrain, the insurgency continues to grow.
In Syria, in particular, there is a new bloodbath security forces, according to the report of Al Arabiya, have opened fire on protesters in Samnin, a village near Dara, southern Syria and epicenter of the protests anti-regime. And you talk of at least 20 victims who were part of a group of protesters in the main town to take direct part in collective protest.
And just to Dara, and some people set fire to the statue of former President Hafez al-Assad, the police would have killed another demonstrator, according to the story of Al Jazeera. The same broadcaster also cited a second budget, provided by the protesters, according to which the dead would be two in addition to a dozen injured.

Another front, Yemen. The anti-regime demonstrators - tens of thousands says the BBC online - gathered for a big protest in the morning of Friday in the capital Sanaa. The military government has intervened by firing shots into the air to keep them away by supporters of President Ali Abdullah Saleh, they also took to the streets.
Also according to the BBC, the embassies are evacuating their staff to leave the capital and flights are full. Saleh, in power for 32 years, said he was ready to relinquish power within a year, but protesters demanding his resignation immediately. The opposition also wants a new constitution, the government's resignation and the dissolution of the internal security services.
The protests lasted for about a month and have seen an escalation of violence. Last Friday about 50 people were killed by gunshot in Sanaa.
