You are in the the 108th Child Diary of the Liveblog of the 2011 Egyptian Uprising and other uprisings spreading throughout the Mideast. We stand with our international friends and their courageous struggle for dignity and human rights.
Libya: Violent protests broke out in Libya with at least 14 injured. And I keep seeing this re-tweeted:
ChangeInLibya 9:33am via web
RT @FreedomNow2011: #Libya #Benghazi #Tripoli :If Gaddafi wants to make it a battlefield,then make it a battlefield of your choice.Block streets..Paralyze city
More regional tidbits after the fold....
DO NOT REC THIS DIARY! Rec the Mothership here.
(The idea is to keep the Mothership, with links to active discussion diaries, visible on the rec list. This prevents multiple liveblog diaries taking up slots on the rec list.)
IRAN: The Iran parliament looked like a riot mob yesterday, chanting for the execution of Moussavi (starts at about 52 seconds). We get video of that, but is a blackout causing media outlets to use old pics to report on and even misrepresent current protests in Iran?

BAHRAIN: In a rare move, the Bahraini king apologized for the killings of two demonstrators. Juan Cole introduces us to the demographics of this tiny country and wonders whether a U.S. naval base there ensures that Bahrain is a U.S. political ally. Following in Egyptian footsteps, demonstrators are erecting tens in Pearl Roundabout and organizing food, shelter and cleanup for an ongoing occupation.
YEMEN: A pro-democracy demonstrator was killed in Yemen, today. (I never cease to be amazed at the courage of these people.)
"First Mubarak, now Ali" (according to translation. I cannot confirm) is a slogan emerging in Yemen:
ALGERIA: The gov't shuts down internet while arresting thousands of protesters in Algeria. An Algerian "crowd map" helps demonstrators navigate the revolutionary terrain.
JORDAN: The Bedouins have formally accused Queen Rania of corruption.
EGYPT: The road to democracy is bumpy in Egypt, as interest groups start to clash.

What our Egyptian brethren are fighting for according to a banner held by protesters and translated to English:
1 The departure of Moubarak
2 An end to the current Parliament
3 An end of the state of emergency
