Unrest among Muslims of three nations

The Tunisian capital, the Yemeni and Algerian demonstrations paths flaunted the Government claims infected by the demands the Tunisian regime. The protests against the continuation of the chief ministers of the regime of deposed president, Zine el Abidine Ben Ali, in the transitional government continued throughout Tunisia, where for the first time in the history of the country hundreds of police took to the streets capital.

Thousands of Tunisians returned to emerge around the country to demand a definitive break with the previous regime and improving their living conditions. Hundreds of plainclothes and uniformed police officers gathered at the popular avenue Habib Bourguiba of capital around a banner that read: "Police is not responsible for the blood of martyrs." One of their main demands is the creation of a police union, banned by the former regime, to express their demands.

The protest were adding some citizens who did not hide their surprise at seeing demonstrations and protests in the street to the members of the Police, a body that has suppressed them harshly for over 20 years. The overthrow of an authoritarian ruler for a wave of street protests has perplexed the Arabs in North Africa and Middle East.

The underlying problems of unemployment and government corruption are common throughout the region and its leaders, many backed by Western powers as a bulwark against radical Islamists-look forward to the developments in Tunisia. In neighboring Algeria, still marked by an Islamic revolt in the early 1990 against the ruling party, the police had to use batons on Saturday to prevent a meeting of an opposition group.

At least five prisoners and 39 wounded, including seven policemen, left clashes when police prevented a rally in the Algerian capital. Some protesters, waving Algerian flags and also the neighboring Tunisia shouted "murderer State, Algeria free, democratic Algeria." About 300 people were blocked by hundreds of police, outside the headquarters of the Meeting for Culture and Democracy (RCD) in the historic central avenue Didush Murad.

Inspired by the revolt that overthrew Ben Ali, more than two thousand Yemeni sick 32-year regime of President Ali Abdullah Saleh demanded his departure in a noisy demonstration, apparently the first major public protest against the ruling. The demonstration was not in the streets but on the campus of the University of Sanaa, a demonstration of the strict control that the president and his forces hold the capital.

That rule is exhausted shortly after leaving the capital. About two thousand 500 students, activists and opposition groups gathered there to sing slogans against the president, who compared with the ousted president of Tunisia. "Go, go, go, Ali, join your friend Ben Ali," chanted the crowd .

Police fired tear gas on protesters, including opponents of the proposal to amend the constitution so the president can hold office for life. About 30 protesters were detained. Police fill the streets of the Tunisian capital during a demonstration against the new cabinet formed with supporters of former President Zine el Abidine Ben Ali.

In December, Tunisia began to live a wave of violence amid demonstrations against unemployment, corruption and lack of freedom. The revolt became the overthrow of the president with 23 years in power. A child makes her way through a uniformed guard anti-government demonstration, outside the University of Sana'a.

The 23 million Yemeni wield many reasons to be unsatisfied: are the poorest people in the Arab world and are ruled by a regime that many considered corrupt and is also despised by his alliance with the U.S. to fight al Qaeda. In the country there are very few political freedoms and an alarming shortage of water.

Dissatisfied face policemen in downtown Algiers. The protests have increased in Algeria following the crisis in Tunisia. The Algerians claim to the high cost and the state of emergency, in force since 1992, which prohibits, in particular in the capital, public demonstrations.
