Libya is the most chaotic and fluid situation at the moment. Updates conflict quite regularly and some of the reports are often horrific. Bahrain is not quite as dynamic but worth paying close attention to as well.
Morocco isn’t quite as hot as some of the other locations but keep an eye on it to see if the #Feb20 movement sees a shift in momentum. The same goes for Yemen which is still seeing thousands of protesters in the streets.
Cote d’Ivoire continues to see its fair share of action. Protesters were fired on over the weekend. This situation has been simmering for quite a while but could turn explode or turn very ugly at any point.
A warship is shadowing an American yacht that’s been hijacked by Somali pirates. Keep an eye on the Somalia feed to monitor the progress of that unfolding event.
On the domestic front, pro-Union protests may continue in Wisconsin on Monday. If partisan US politics (people tweeting things about “DUMBocrats” and “reTHUGlicans”) turns you on then this is your feed.
