Current Uprising

I chose the uprising in Bahrain because it has not got quite as much attention lately as Tunisia, Libya, or Africa, but it could really affect the prices of oil if the protesting goes much further.

Shiite protesters are vying for democracy, and trying to get away from the control of the Sunni monarch. The unrest started on March 14th, and so far, has not gone further than protests against the royal family in the public squares. I have a feeling that this revolution is going to start picking up speed really quickly, and that we're going to see very high gas prices when it does.
