In Libya, the country is already falling and the government isn't helping them because he is killing them. The people are rebelling because they don't have much rights like they should, there demands would be for more rights and less control.

Similar to Libya, protesters in Syria are getting killed to. They are dieing because they do not like the government that they have and they want to do do something about it.

In Yemen, there is conflict due to political freedom. The people are protesting and the government may kill them like the government did in Syria and Libya.

The next country that have the next serious conflict is Libya. The next government will deal civil unrest is Gadhafi's goverment.

The next three countries that will fall are Syria, Jordan, Iraq, and Egypt.

why, beause of officials from the new governments that are demonstrators.
The people rebel demonstrators, fed up with delays, broke into a housing project that the government was building and occupied it. Their will not be any demands.

The government will respond as a violent ragepamge if justiced does not go their way.

In libya, they are fughting a civil war with the United States. A lot of troops died because of the attack. This conflict has been going on for a while. Libya is a poor country fighting a serious war.

Libya, Syria, and Yeman are the next three to fall.

In Libya, If they don't get there government out of there people are going to keep trying to kill him, while people in Syria are trying to do the same thing. Then Yeman is starting to hve a government propblem to so they should start doing something about it are things are going to get alot crazier.

The next countries to have serious conflict is Lybia and Egypt. The country goverment that will deal with th civil unrest is Gadhafi.

To me the ones that will fall is Lybia, Egypt, and Syria. To me they will fall because they have citizen and goverment problems and its getting tense.
Because most are scared and do not want to die. Their demands will be to have a new goverment and change in their law. Same way most do he will respond with violence.

One country that will fall is Libya cause it is fighting a big civil war.
Another is Syria because the government is fighting with its own people buring protests.
Also Yemen will possibly fall because of the pro- and anti-government rallies they are having where people are getting injured in.

In Libya, the country has already fell because their so call'd government is killing them. The people in Libyaare taking a stand because they don't have little to any rights at all.there demands would be to have more rights and less control.
in syria protesters are being killed because they are standing up fot ther seleves. They are killing them because, they do not like the government that is being ran now. so they are going to do do something about it.

In Yemen, fighting is takeing place because of their freedom. The people are making stands so the government may kill them like the government did in libya and syria.

Libya is the next to have a serious conflict, and it's already failling because of the bombing that happend few weeks ago. Syria will fell because protesters are being killed, same with Yemen.
