Al-Jazeera reported on the landslide victory of the Kuwaiti Islamist opposition party. Kuwait experienced anti-government protests in December, and it seems that the opposition Islamist party have been quick to take advantage of the dissatisfied population.
Al Arabiya news reported that the face of outgoing Yemeni president Saleh has been reinstated at the top of the country's newspaper "Al-Thawra" after Saleh loyalists laid seige to the newspaper's headquarters after they tried to remove it. I'm sure Saleh will feel somewhat relieved to know that some of his population are looking forward to his return from the USA.
Reuters reported that Bahraini police were forced to break up a protest led by majority-Shia citizens who are taking every available opportunity to pressurise the Sunni government into bold reforms. It seems there is no let up for the Bahraini royal family.
Bettor News (blog) reported that Tiger Woods lost to Robert Rock in the Abu Dhabi Golf Championships this week, disappointing fans. Who knew that the desert emirate would become the host of a global golfing tournament? It appears that miracles can happen!
