Middle Eastern Traffic Report

We’re hearing news of roadblocks in Bahrain getting in the way of Saudi troops, with some resulting casualties, though the Pearl roundabout is clear and local authorities are using all means necessary to keep the thoroughfares clear.
In Libya, the road from Tripoli to Benghazi is essentially clear, traffic taking this route because of a large obstruction further north in Germany, blocking G8 and NATO paths. There are a few road bumps of international condemnation but these are not proving insurmountable.
In Yemen, a junction has been reached as the ruler is refusing to make any further concessions to protestors cramming highways, receiving outside diplomatic help in their struggle, although Oman is looking far more hassle-free after a measure of democracy was granted.
A few minor disturbances aside, all other roads in the Middle East are looking fine.
