The middle east...start with Tunisia. Tunisian people where not happy with their government and began their purge of Zine El-Abdine Ben Ali. Ok, so Egypt got wind of what was happening and so they began the same against their government and preceded to oust their president, Hosni Mubarak. This lead to an Egyptian revolution, beginning on 25 Jan. There were over 600 deaths and 6,000 injured, along with damage to amazing historical artifacts in the Egyptian Museum and much of Egypt's history in general. There is still some unrest now, but Mubarak is out and some order has been restored. Now, hey hey, we have a Lybian uprising against Lybian leader Muammar Gaddafi...notice all these countries are 'neighbors'... which is still going on... but hey, the state of the human rights in Tunisia and Egypt may be somewhat better than before, giving many of the people a bit of what they wanted. So, are these the revolts and uprising leading to the end of the world in 2012? Or are they just contributing?
What about the 'natural disasters?' Ok, so they may not be all 'natural' as it is mans influence that leads to them, but how much has happened this year...and we are only in March! First Jan was the month of floods! Queensland Australia was flooded, Brazil flooded, South Africa flooded, and Sri Lanka flooded...Then, Feb. Queensland Australia again. They had to prepare themselves for the category 5 hurricane Yasi, just after being flooded! Oh, and more floods hit Sri Lanka. So, then, at the end of Feb, a 6.3 magnitude earthquake devastated Christchurch, NZ causing widespread damage! So, so far whats that? 3 uprisings, 5 floods, a hurricane and an earthquake...in the space of 2 months...but the worst is yet to come.

So, thats my view on what has been happening, all of a sudden, in the world. All the 'incidents' seem to be making their way around, so will that be it for now, or are there more to come?
