I tried a practice run on the Europe test, and he said if it were the real thing i would have gotten for sure more than 94%!!! i'm so happy!!!
Then everyone else did it at the same time and it sounded pretty good.
i'll certainly get a good grade on that test.... did i just really say that?!?! COOL!!
got back to the topic of Libya.
peaceful protestors were gunned down by Kidafi people.
also got into problems in Egypt.
their government gives almost no freedoms and the unemployment rates are sky rocketing
protests broke out in the streets of Egypt.
Mubarich, (still...i think that's spelled wrong) the (old) leader of Egypt, stepped down peacefully from power, giving into protests.
Kidafi thinks differently.
he will not go down without a fight, no matter what people think.
then got into the topic of Morocco-my blog discussion.
apparently Morocco has a greater population than the bigger country of Libya.
most likely Morocco has more cities because Libya is made of more desert.
Mohammed VI is the king of Morocco, and has been since 1999.
Algeria is the next topic.
Their protests are mainly on the high prices for food.
Their leader is lifting the law of emergency.
that will give citizens more rights.
The problem spread to other neighboring countries like Egypt and Tunisia.
Their are some U.S. police down in Algeria, but otherwise it doesn't seem like the U.S. is doing anything.
The protests are mostly made up of young people that want more job opprotunities and more freedoms.
Next topic: Tunisia.
This is where most of the protests started.
there was a lack in job opprotunities.
Ther was a story in Tunisia: a college student set himself on fire after the government took away his only source of income: a fruit cart-A FRUIT CART!
Ben Ali tried to get things under control by shutting down Facebook and Twitter.
Ben Ali then stepped down.
a new president then took over.
Yemen is the next topic.
Unemployment rate is over 35%.
that's one in three people unemployed!!!!! holy crap!
population is about 23.5 million people.
Biggest protest was on Feb. 3rd with 20,000.
finally, U.S. have helped SOMEONE.
