Here is a CTV clip on the riots with some out of date stats. Stratfor is reporting 20 dead in these riots. Mostly UN workers but some locals as well.
Below, a teaser from CTV news promising to show the story right after a short news break on Libya’s rebels. Five hours later, there is no sign of the story. But the teaser was interesting enough for me to play with a bit…
Not sure yet but I think these are ‘anti-war’ protesters.

Protesters break into bank, clash with cops as London march turns violent
Follow latest updates at http://twitter.com/rt_com and http://www.facebook.com/RTnews Tens of thousands of mostly peaceful demonstrators streamed into central London on Saturday to march against government budget cuts, with a small breakaway group smashing its way into a bank, breaking windows and spray painting logos on the walls. Another group of black-clad protesters hurled paint bombs and ammonia-filled light bulbs at police. Organisers of the march estimated that at least 250,000 people from across the country were peacefully joining in the demonstration, the biggest protest in London since a series of rallies against the Iraq war in 2003. Police said they were not giving out crowd estimates.
FOX NEWS…Thousands of Christians have been forced to flee their homes in Western Ethiopia after Muslim extremists set fire to roughly 50 churches and dozens of Christian homes.
At least one Christian has been killed, many more have been injured and anywhere from 3,000 to 10,000 have been displaced in the attacks that began March 2 after a Christian in the community of Asendabo was accused of desecrating the Koran.
The violence escalated to the point that federal police forces sent to the area two weeks ago were initially overwhelmed by the mobs. Government spokesman Shimelis Kemal told Voice of America police reinforcements had since restored order and 130 suspects had been arrested and charged with instigating religious hatred and violence.
Prime Minister Meles Zenawi said the Islamist group Kawarja is believed to have incited the violence. Continue Reading →

Thousands of protesters poured into a main square in Bahrain’s capital today in an Egypt-style rebellion that sharply escalated pressure on authorities as the Arab push for change gripped the Gulf for the first time.
Security forces clashed with demonstrators who have been calling for political reforms and greater freedoms over two days, leading to the deaths of two protesters and the main opposition group vowing to freeze its work in parliament in protest.
In a clear sign of concern over the widening crisis, Bahrain’s King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa made a rare national TV address, offering condolences for the deaths, pledging an investigation into the killings and promising to push ahead with reforms, which include loosening state controls on the media and internet.

STRATFOR: February 11, 2011
Hosni Mubarak has decided to step down as president of Egypt, Vice President Omar Suleiman announced Feb. 11, CNN reported. The Higher Council of the Armed forces will run the affairs of the country, he said.
I absolutely guarantee any and all readers, this is the future for Canada if we allow unchecked immigration and multiculturalism as policies. We nearly saw it with the Tamils in Ottawa and we will see it with Muslims as the reason Canada and as a rule, the US does not see this kind of political violence is one reason only. Our democratic culture and traditions.
As I sleep, Tundra Tabloids has offered to update this post on the EDL demo in Luton. It is probably going to be very intense. Make sure you click more and head to the bottom for the newest info:
Have a look at the ‘call to arms’ videos the Muslims in Luton made to oppose the EDL demo. Keep in mind that pretty much all of the violence so far in all EDL demos has been by Muslims and leftist groups like ANTIFA and UAF. Even the police and BBC have admitted that.
Now look at the claims by Luton Muslims:
These are clearly calls to arms and do not reflect the messages or speeches of the EDL whatsoever. It is interesting though, that we can now see how Muslims use certain important English words quite differently. Words like ‘Innocent’ which means to them, any Muslim no matter how they may act or what they have done, and words like ‘defend’ which means anyone who stops an Islamic offensive action requires them to ‘defend’ Islam as stopping Muslims from forcing their religion on others is an attack on Islam, therefore, any action by a Muslim on an infidel is defence of the faith.
Sort of quasi clever spin. What Muslims call, ‘Kitman’.
Please check back to this post often. Tundra T will post info as it becomes available, and even though it is still 5 hours till the demo starts, there is already a lot of action on the ground I am told.

This is harsh.
Egypt: Army Arrests Foreign Journalists In Cairo STRATFOR SITREP

Egypt’s military detained about two dozen foreign journalists Feb. 3, possibly to protect them from supporters of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, AP and CP reported.

An AP reporter said he saw eight foreign journalists seized by soldiers near the prime minister’s office near Tahrir Square, and the Washington Post cited numerous witnesses as saying Cairo bureau chief Leila Fadel and photographer Linda Davidson were arrested by Egypt’s Interior Ministry.
