イエメンで予定通り反政府デモ 2万人が参加
デモ予定の情報で「イエメンは2月3日」と書いてあったが、実際に発生した。
「1月30日のスーダン」は、何年も前から分離独立を問う国民投票が決まっていたので、最初から↑冒頭リンクの情報の真偽を確かめる材料ではなかった。イエメンが最初の材料。
次は「2月5日のシリア」。その前に、今日3日（木）に人民議会前で携帯通信会社に対する抗議、明日4日（金）に金曜礼拝後に抗議デモをするという情報が流れているので、一応注意してください。

11:05 am In Yemen, tens of thousands of people square off in street protests for and against the government in an opposition-led "Day of Rage". The protests come a day after Yemen's president Ali Abdullah Saleh offered to step down in 2013. By early morning, anti-government activists drew more than 20,000 in Sanaa, the capital.

More than 20,000 anti-government protesters have gathered in the Yemeni capital, Sanaa, for a "day of rage" against President Ali Abdullah Saleh.
The demonstrators are calling for a change in government and rejected Mr Saleh's offer to step down in 2013 after more than 30 years in power.
Meanwhile, a similar number of his supporters rallied in a central square.
The gatherings are the largest in two weeks of protests inspired by the popular uprisings in Tunisia and Egypt.
In an emergency parliament session on Wednesday, Mr Saleh, 64, laid out his plans to move aside, saying he would not seek to extend his presidency when his current term expires in 2013 and pledging not pass on power to his son.
Despite his call to protesters to cancel their planned rallies, both pro- and anti-government demonstrators gathered in different parts of Sanaa.
'Regime change'
Yemeni supporters of President Saleh rally at a stadium in Sanaa, 2 February Pro-Saleh demonstrators want political reform, but not for Mr Saleh to resign
"The people want regime change," anti-government protesters shouted as they gathered outside Sanaa University. "No to corruption, no to dictatorship."
The so-called "day of rage" was organised by civil society groups and opposition leaders who complain of mounting poverty among a growing, young population and frustration with a lack of political freedoms.
Unemployment in Yemen runs at 40%, and there are rising food prices and acute levels of malnutrition.
The country has also been plagued by a range of security issues, including a separatist movement in the south and an uprising of Shia Houthi rebels in the north.
There are fears that Yemen is becoming a leading al-Qaeda haven, with the high numbers of unemployed youths seen as potential recruits for Islamist militant groups.
Political reform
The pro-Saleh supporters rallied in Sanaa's central Tahrir (Liberation) Square.
They are also calling for political and economic reforms, but they believe only Mr Saleh can guarantee the security and stability of the country, and they do not want him to step down now, says the BBC's Lina Sinjab in Sanaa.
But they say they will keep up their street protests until Mr Saleh delivers on the promised reforms, our correspondent says.
There were initial fears that violence could break out on Thursday, but the protests appear to have gone peacefully, she adds.
President Saleh, a Western ally, became leader of North Yemen in 1978, and has ruled the Republic of Yemen since the north and south merged in 1990. He was last re-elected in 2006.
In January, he had proposed a constitutional amendment that would allow him to stand for re-election in the next presidential ballot in two years' time.
But after the revolt in Tunisia, which forced the country's president to flee into exile, analysts say he appears to have changed his mind.
Mr Saleh has also made a series of other concessions - halving income tax, ordering his government to control prices, and pledging to raise the salaries of civil servants and military personnel by around $47 (￡29) a month.
