Georgia- Tens of thousands of people gathered Friday in Tbilisi, the capital of Georgia, to protest against President Mikhail Saakashvili and demand -- apparently in vain -- that elections be held months earlier than scheduled. (psst its not Russia they are mad at, there are at least 250,000 still out of work who need to get to their jobs in Russia, and Saakashvili has used blackwater and Israeli mercinaries to provoke hostilities at the border) http://edition.cnn.com/2007/WORLD/europe/11/02/georgia.protest/index.html

Thailand-Articles we read this day had the number at 60,000 protesters. If you recall, the prime minister(Thaksin) was ousted for corruption by a military coup, an election held, and the same political party won again, the wealthy families in Thailand didn’t like the result, so they paid protesters(yellow shirts) to shut down the airport, then installed their choice of leader. These people are protesting because they want a real democracy. The media seems to over and over talk about the corrupt leader from before. Its getting tiring, if you repeat a lie often enough it becomes just annoying. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/04/13/thailand-protests-soldier_n_186101.html

Moldovia- Up to 10,000 students protest the Communist win of the election. Good news, there were UN observers there to verify the election. These students did not like the results, but these are tough times in and their elders are voting for people who promise to protect their pensions. http://www.cnbc.com/id/30085236

India-125,000 Indian Farmers have taken their lives as genetically modified seed fails. 'He was strangled by these magic seeds. They sell us the seeds, saying they will not need expensive pesticides but they do. We have to buy the same seeds from the same company every year. It is killing us. Please tell the world what is happening here.' http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/worldnews/article-1082559/The-GM-genocide-Thousands-Indian-farmers-committing-suicide-using-genetically-modified-crops.html
