Bahrain

Should Bahrain not be yellow rather than green? There have been protests there after all. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.26.212.72 (talk) 20:57, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

Somalia and Djibouti?

Note that these are not Arab countries, play no role in the current protests, and hence don't really belong on this map. Peter G Werner (talk) 22:56, 3 February 2011 (UTC)

Both countries are part of the Arab League and have the Arabic language as a co-official language. Vis-a-visconti (talk) 09:19, 4 February 2011 (UTC)

I see. Its based on a map of Arab League countries. Now it makes sense. I did not know about Somalia and Djibouti being members. Peter G Werner (talk) 22:38, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

New Map

Why was the map changed? The old map was fine. Now you can't see Gaza and can barely make out Bahrain. Vis-a-visconti (talk) 21:21, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

Iran

Iran, while not a part of the Arab world, is experiencing protests and unrest. Maybe it could be shown in stripes? --76.103.156.234 (talk) 01:05, 15 February 2011 (UTC)

I'd support this, since Iran is on the map anyway. --Roentgenium111 (talk) 14:45, 15 February 2011 (UTC)

I would say it should be in yellow, categorized as "minor protests", but even if it's not, there should be something to indicate its involvement. --Muboshgu (talk) 16:01, 15 February 2011 (UTC)

Iran should not be included in this map. Iran is not an Arab country, and the Iranian protests are nothing news, they started in 2009. Kurdo777 (talk) 16:24, 15 February 2011 (UTC)

Iran will not be included: because Iran is not part of "Aljazeera campaign". 129.70.24.205 (talk) 16:30, 15 February 2011 (UTC)

Countries

I suggest include a list of the countries. --147.84.132.44 (talk) 14:38, 15 February 2011 (UTC)

BAHRAIN!?????????

THOUGH IT LOOOKS TOO TINY TO BE OTHERWISE......MAKE BAHRAIN NOTICEABLE AS A MAJOR PROTEST ZONE!!!!!!! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pranav21391 (talk • contribs) 17:19, 15 February 2011 (UTC)

South Sudan

Why is South Sudan included within this "Arab world" protests map? Wasn't that why they voted for independence in the first place? Chupu (talk) 03:16, 18 February 2011 (UTC)

Yes, however South Sudan is in transition to independence and is not independent yet, so that is why it is on the map... Maybe it would make sense to have a dashed line showing the border... - Kylelovesyou (talk) 17:18, 18 February 2011 (UTC)

Senegal needs to be added

Senegal should be in blue. Man sets himself on fire in front of Presidential Palace in Senegal - http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2011/02/18/AR2011021801835.html - Kylelovesyou (talk) 16:19, 18 February 2011 (UTC)

Western Sahara

I don't feel it's good to draw the "Maroccan Walls" in the territory of the Western Sahara. For a similar reason as with Sudan: It is no de facto border. --Elllit (talk) 14:55, 19 February 2011 (UTC)
