But the Fars News Agency list of "popular uprisings and revolutions" seems lacking:
Looks like there are 2 protests against totalitarian rulers that have been left out.
Tunisia saw the overthrow of Zine El Abidine Ben Ali in a popular revolution in January, which was soon followed by a revolution which toppled Hosni Mubarak in Egypt in February.
Bahrain, Jordan, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Yemen and Libya have since been the scene of protests against their totalitarian rulers, who have resorted to brutal crackdown on demonstrations to silence their critics.
While Libya celebrated the victory of its revolution after the death of the country's dictator, Muammar Qaddafi, in October, uprisings continue in several other Muslim states."
First there is Iran itself, which has had protests after its last fraudulent elections--protests that have been dealt with as brutally by the Iranian regime as the other Muslim countries on their list.
The second country missing of course is Iran's good (only) friend, Syria.
An oversight, no doubt.
Or maybe Fars news Agency is just being modest.
Technorati Tag: Iran.
