Protests Spread to Jordan, Yemen and Sudan 
-------------------------------------------



The protests in Egypt have had reverberations across the Arab world.
Over the weekend, demonstrators took to the streets in Jordan, Yemen and
Sudan. In Jordan, activists demonstrated near the prime minister's
office in Amman.

Saed Darwazeh: "We are asking to do major changes in the political and
economical system in Jordan, on top of that, to change the current
government as they are responsible for increasing the poverty, the
unemployment rate and all the economical situation currently in Jordan.
People are suffering more and more, and the economical situation is
going down the drain."

In Yemen, nine protesters were injured by police on Saturday as they
attempted to march to the Egyptian embassy in Sana'a.
