Freegypt - and Middle East Unrest

Yesterday marked the biggest uprising of the modern Middle East. And despite lead by the toppling of Ben-Ali in Tunisia, arguably this era of change will be remembered by the running up to stepping down of Hosni Mubarak. Even if there is further change in the region. The question is - will there be more?

The gulf states seem to be free - but who knows what could happen. Yemen sits sop of the list from the Economist:



A toppling of the leadership in the UAE - with the redistribution of wealth and a master plan for the future - I think there will be no such uprising in Dubai, Abu Dhabi or the UAE. Saudi, however, is a another case entirely - and just nearby sits bubbling Iran. Don't expect the eruptions to subside just yet.
