Egypt: Massive demonstrations are being held throughout Egypt today, on what is being called the "Friday of Unity and the People's Will." Most political parties and movements planned to participate in the demonstrations after agreeing to put aside individual demands and agendas in order to focus on the revolution's goals. However, many parties decided not to continue taking part in today's events after several Islamic parties began chanting Islamic slogans.

Libya: The mysterious assassination of opposition leader Abdel Fattah Younis has created divisions among rebel forces. While most are blaming his death on Muammar Gaddafi loyalists, others aren't ruling out the possibility of internal disputes in the opposition as the cause for his untimely assassination. Younis, one of Gaddafi's former right-hand men, defected from the Libyan regime in late February to join the revolutionaries and help form the Transitional National Council.

Bahrain: Several demonstrations were held throughout the country in response to calls by al-Wefaq National Islamic Society and the February 14 Coalition. Fierce confrontations erupted between young protestors and Bahraini security forces in the towns of Zanj and al-Bilad Qadeem. The opposition has rejected the outcome of the country's national dialogue and al-Wefaq Society is warning the regime not to use the modest reform proposals from the dialogue as a solution to the country's political crisis.

Syria: Anti-regime mobilizations have been linked to many Syrian mosques, which have become destinations for protestors to gather and starting points for their demonstrations. Historically, the mosque's role has not been limited to religious services but also includes an important social aspect, especially during the tumultuous Arab Spring.

Bahrain: The so-called national dialogue has failed to appease the country's opposition amid rising concerns over the government's determination to find a balanced solution to of the current crisis in Bahrain. The opposition voiced frustration with the government at the national dialogue conference after the country's largest opposition party, al-Wefaq, left the negotiations. Facing a countrywide anti-regime revolution, Manama launched the talks on July 2 with the alleged aim of introducing reforms in the Bahraini government.

Syria: A number of night protests were organized in several neighborhoods of the capital Damascus and its countryside amid a crackdown by security forces. Eleven people, including one child, were killed and 250 were arrested in the city of Kanaker, south of Damascus, in what Syrian authorities say was an operation to capture armed terrorist groups.

Libya: Libyan revolutionaries launched an attack on Muammar Gaddafi's battalions stationed at the foot of the Western Mountains, specifically in the towns of Takut and al-Ghazaya. The revolutionaries initiated the military operation to seize control of the strategic mountain towns because they are being used by the regime's battalions to shell Nalut and the Wazin-Dhehaiba crossing at the Tunisian border. Images posted online also show fierce battles in al-Brega and the revolutionaries' vigorous attempt to maintain a siege around Gaddafi's battalions in the city.

Libya: British Foreign Minister William Hague announced the UK's official recognition of the Libyan Transitional National Council after the Libyan embassy staff was expelled from the UK. Hague said that the UK will deal with the Council as the only official authority, "as if it were the state of Libya." UN envoy to Libya Abdul al-Khatib said that the Libyan government and the Transitional National Council are still far from reaching an agreement to end the crisis in the country.

Yemen: Republican Guard tanks began withdrawing from the streets of Taiz, following an agreement between the Joint Meeting Parties and the Guard's leadership in the city. The Joint Meeting Parties have renewed their opposition to beginning a dialogue with the regime before the transfer of authority from President Ali Abdullah Saleh to Abdu Rabu Mansour Hadi. Yemen is also witnessing an unprecedented humanitarian crisis due to the absence of fuel, food supplies, and essential services.

Syria: At least ten people were killed and dozens injured by soldiers and members of the security forces in the town of Kanaker, southwest of the Syrian capital. Head of the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights Rami Abdul Rahman said that security forces arrested 200 to 300 people. Security forces continue to be deployed in a number of neighborhoods in the capital, including Rukn al-Deen, Barzeh, and al-Qadam where heavy gunfire was heard.

Yemen: Foreign Minister Abu Bakr al-Qirb is holding talks with European officials to discuss the developments in Yemen. At the end of his mission in Sanaa, the UN secretary-general's envoy to Yemen, Jamal al-Omar, warned of the country's collapse and the severity of the security situation and living conditions in the country. Al-Omar stated that he will submit a report on the Yemeni crisis to the UN Security Council.

Bahrain: A number of regions witnessed night demonstrations denouncing the regime's crackdown and arrest campaign targeting protestors. Bahrain's opposition, headed by al-Wefaq National Islamic Society, confirmed that it has conclusive evidence of 50 different kinds of "shameful violations" committed by the regime that will be presented to a fact-finding commission.

Syria: The new draft law which allows a multi-party system in Syria has failed to mollify protestors demanding reform in the country. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said that night protests were held in Hama, Rif Dimashq, Homs, Deir az-Zour, Idlib and Latakia. The organization reported that three people, including one woman, were killed by the security forces' gunfire in the past 24 hours. Meanwhile, the government's arrest campaign continues in a number of regions. The US State Department described the Syrian army's manner of dealing with the protestors as "barbaric."

Morocco: The February 20 Movement condemned what it described as the policy of "deaf ears" adopted by the authorities in relation to the movement's demands. The movement organized the largest protests yet in the cities of Tangier and Casablanca to reiterate its rejection of the new constitution and demand a "democratic constitution devoted to the sovereignty of the people."

Syria: Protests continue throughout the country despite the Syrian cabinet's approval of a draft law that allows for the formation of political parties. The authorities described the draft law as "activating the multi-party political system." However, the opposition says that the law is a "sham solution" because Article 8 of the constitution stipulates that the Ba'ath Party is the country's ruling party.

Libya: Only 100 kilometers south of the capital Tripoli, Muammar Gaddafi's forces launched an attack on Gualish in an attempt to regain control of the town. The revolutionaries said they managed to repel Gaddafi's forces two kilometers from Gualish after dozens of fellow fighters arrived to support them from the city of Zintan, the revolutionaries' largest base in western Libya. Meanwhile, NATO continues to launch nightly raids on central Tripoli, which the government says is causing a heavy civilian death toll.

Egypt: In the midst of their current revolution, Egypt celebrated the anniversary of the July 23 Revolution, also known as the Revolution of the Free Officers, which abolished Egypt's constitutional monarchy and established a republic. More than 60 years later, the Egyptian people are once again challenging their government and demanding it be replaced with a civilian government free of corruption and oppression.
