Fasting ends - protests set to begin

Ramadan comes to a close on Tue/Wed. There are growing expectations that anti-government protests will re-escalate in many areas of the Middle East and North Africa as Muslims can re-energise during the day. But exactly where will the unrest kickoff? Syria, Bahrain and Yemen have experienced relatively stable and high levels of protests during Ramadan and in many other areas, such as Jordan, Morocco, Saudi Arabia, Oman and Iraq the political situation has normalised following government action. Of particular interest will be Egypt. Many of its movements openly suspended Ramadan protesting. It is highly likely that these group will restart later this week, possibly as early as Friday.
