Guardian.co.uk coverage of the Middle East

The Guardian News Blog has committed substantial resources to covering developments not only in Egypt, but in every country where popular sentiment for change has made itself known. Here’s oneĀ  excerpt from the last hour or so (times are, we think, GMT):

US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton delivers remarks on the current situation in Egypt“We’ve been very clear from the beginning that we do not want to see any violence. We deplore it. We think it is absolutely unacceptable,” Clinton told the ABC News program This Week, according to a transcript released by the network. She stopped short of calling for regime change.
“We very much want to see the human rights of the people protected, including right to assemble, right to express themselves, and we want to see reform,” Clinton said. “And so Bahrain had started on some reform, and we want to see them get back to that as quickly as possible.”
