North Africa Unrest Continues

The unrest continues in several countries in North Africa. Egypt is somewhat quiet after demonstrators were able to unseat the leader Hosni Mubarak who had been in power for 30 years. Now the Libyan people are trying to repeat the process in their country. Today, state TV was ransacked, communications are sporadic with families in the country. A report of a million person march may happen today.

The government is refusing to step down and last night a speech by the son of the leader warned of a fight to the last man. They are now striking at the protesters from the air in Tripoli which was reported on Aljazeera Internet TV.

My fear for my family continues to rise and yet what can we do from here. Please pray for the innocents who are in harms way.
