Weekly Wire – September 6

POMED’s Weekly Wire for August 29 is now available. This week’s edition includes coverage of the ongoing debate in Congress about foreign aid, as well as rising tensions in Bahrain as protests escalated. After granting asylum to Gadhafi’s family, Algeria expressed willingness to recognize the TNC once a government is formed, and in Libya Muammar Gadhafi vowed to resist the rebels. Assad responded with continued violence as regional pressure and local dissent grew, and numerous political prisoners were freed in Iran, while dozens more were detained.
