Something to watch.

Live updates: A week after the second #jan25 anniversary and days of clashes, political unrest has brought the nation to protest against President Morsi and his Muslim Brotherhood government. 

Thousands took to the streets to say ‘no’ to Iraqi Prime Minister Maliki, displaying what growing sectarian differences the country has between the Sunnis minority and Shi’ite majority.

Something to watch.

Also: Al Qaeda has advised that protesters take up guns.
