 AFTER more than five months of
continuous protests, I stand today
in Change Square with thousands
of young people united by a lofty
dream. I have spent days and
nights camped out in tents with fellow
protesters; I have led demonstrations in
the streets facing the threat of mortars,
missiles and gunfire; I have struggled to
build a movement for democratic change
- all while caring for my three young children.
We have reached this historic moment
because we chose to march in the streets
demanding the resignation of President
Ali Abdullah Saleh, an end to his corrupt
and failed regime and the establishment
of a modern democratic state. On June 4,
our wish for Saleh´s departure was granted,
but our demand. |

| |  | | IT´S SPRING-LIKE
IN MOROCCO! |
| PERHAPS no Arab ruler
responded as wisely to this
year´s pro-democracy
protests as the king of
Morocco - although that is
an exceptionally low bar.
When other dictators in the Arab
world answered protesters with gunfire,
King Mohammed VI grudgingly
accepted demonstrations, at least
when he was in a good mood. His
regime claimed that antigovernment
activism underscored the country´s
openness, and on Friday the king
announced constitutional reforms
that seem likely to reduce his own
role in governing the country.
These days, as much of the Arab
Spring has faded into an Arab winter
of repression, Morocco still feels fairly
spring-like. You can tell that from
the denunciations of the regime... |

Emma Watson not dating Johnny Simmons
A REPRESENTATIVE of actress Emma Watson has rubbished reports that she is dating Johnny Simmons, her co-star in The Perks of Being a Wallflower.
“This is complete fiction,” dailymail.co.uk quoted the representative as saying.
Rumours of Watson dating Simmons started off after they were photographed together in Pennsylvania.
The actress, who rose to fame through the Harry Potter series, has been single since dating One Night Only rocker George Craig last year.
