rmEgypt: You're up on that, right? And hey, Amr Moussa just resigned as head of the Arab League. Looks like he'll be running in the Egyptian elections when they happen.
Algeria: Ramping up police presence in preparation for Saturday protests.
Iran: Blocking BBC signals so residents can't see footage of Egypt.
Bahrain: Offered payments of $2,600+ to all families in appeasement effort. I told you Bahrain was nervous.
Syria: Useful AJE analysis here - http://english.aljazeera.net/indepth/features/2011/02/201129103121562395.html
Tunisia: Things there are still very fraught. That situation is very much ongoing despite initial ousters.
Saudi Arabia: I've got nothing other than for the first time I'm hearing analysts with a clue saying revolution is possible there in light of this.
Libya: Celebrations in the street for Egypt.
Gaza: Celebrations in the street for Egypt.
China: Has blocked Internet searches on Egypt.
