Uprisings around the world
We've all heard so much about the protests in Tunisia that led to a revolution against former government leader Zine El Abidine Ben Ali. But Tunisia's actually only one of three countries that have seen massive popular uprisings in the past couple of weeks.
The Tunisian rallies, seen above, sparked much smaller protests against governments in nearby countries such as Algeria, Libya and Egypt. But two more countries, Belgium and Albania, have been experiencing huge protests against their governments that are unrelated to the situation in Tunisia.
Thousands of Belgians came together in Brussels to voice their frustration about their country effectively not having a government since June 2010 elections. "Most people present in the streets of Brussels find the political situation intolerable and have had enough of the inability to find consensus by the political establishment," said Peter Vandenplas, who shot the above photo. He says the march was very peaceful, and Tey-Marie Astudillo, who also attended, agrees: "There were street vendors and music. For a protest, it was very upbeat and friendly, almost like a parade rather than a protest," she said.
And in Albania, protests against government corruption turned violent. They began after a video surfaced of government officials leading extravagant lifestyles. "For anyone that thinks Albania is a democracy, think again," said Ladi, who participated in the protests and shot photos. [His full name has been omitted out of security concerns.] "You call a country a democracy that has government workers buying themselves out of trouble and into luxury while the people starve and have no jobs?"

Two Egyptian protesters one of them carrying the Tunisian flag and the other one is carrying a sign saying:
"Tunis was yesterday and Egypt will be tomorrow
January 25, the beginning of having our rights back"
They are both also carrying bread as a reminder to the government of the severe wheat and bread problem in Egypt.

Thousands protest in Egypt
People across Egypt took to the streets on Tuesday in demonstrations against corruption and failing economic policies. The rallies were partly inspired by similar protests that rocked Tunisia this month.
Protest organizers said they hope to capture the regional momentum for political change set by Tunisians, who 10 days ago forced the collapse of Zine El Abidine Ben Ali's 23-year rule.
