The world's attention has been on the tragedy in Japan as radiation levels increase, nuclear reactors burn and foreign governments tell their citizens to leave.
The 成人快手 livepage has the latest updates and here's an interactive map of the quake damage.
But while Japan tries to cool its nuclear reactors, events have been escalating in Bahrain, Libya and Yemen.
In Manama today, security forces used tanks, helicopters and jeeps to clear protesters from Pearl Roundabout, two days after the king of Bahrain brought in troops from Saudi Arabia. Doctors have told the 成人快手 that many people are injured and but that they can't get medical attention. You can get live updates on the crackdown here.

Mercia from France on Facebook - Gaddafi turned his son into a full blooded terrorist. Now books are to open about the corrupt relationship between French leader Sakozy and Gaddafi! Getting real interesting.

Abdulqadir from Somalia on facebook.com/worldhaveyoursay - I think the authorities in Bahrain have been boldened by the Libyan regime - they too are trying to use military force against unarmed civilians. I urge the people of Libya and Bahrain to stand firmly against the tyrants. Its now or never.

Jaffar emailed from Bahrain - We are in a lake of blood here in Bahrain because of the Bahraini and Saudi army to the civilians. The only reason is: we asked for our rights.

Dr Ahmad emailed from Manama - Let me paint you a different picture of these so called peaceful protesters. For over a month, the government and ordinary people in Bahrain have put up with these so called 'protests' that not only disrupt everyday life, but are considered treason in light of their demands to topple the government. These groups are not civilian groups. They are well-trained in warfare on all levels.

Thomas on Facebook - When one is knocked down by the roadside, does it mean he should never use the road again? I'd ask those who propose japan should abandon nuclear energy, what else should Japan do?
