Rumbles on the Arab street

 

Throughout the Middle East, as citizens have taken to the streets to protest a range of woes -- rising food prices, inflamed religious tensions, and corrupt political leadership -- it's becoming more clear that Arab regimes are, as FP blogger March Lynch says, "on edge." 
Here, the father of 23-year-old Abdelfatah Akresh, who was killed during clashes in the town of Bou-Ismael, west of Algiers, mourns his son's death. "Algerian society has been in a permanent state of moral revolt against the regime for the last four or five years," wrote Hugh Roberts for Foreign Policy's Middle East Channel."
