The uprising in Tunisia, which led to the ouster of president Zine El Abidine Ben Ali on 14 January, has had a ripple effect across the Arab world:
EGYPT
One person dies and four are injured in the space of a few days when they set themselves on fire. Three demonstrators and one police officer then die on Tuesday during protests across the country.
On Wednesday Egyptian police clash with protesters in the centre of Cairo and in the port city of Suez, arresting at least 500 people.
ALGERIA
Early in January five days of violent protests against high prices result in five people dead and more than 800 injured. The government orders a cut in basic food prices and pledges to continue subsidising wheat, milk and electricity.
On 22 January riot police break up a banned pro-democracy rally, leaving around 20 injured.
Two lethal self-immolations and six attempted torching suicides have been reported in Algeria since 14 January.
JORDAN
Thousands of Jordanians take to the streets of Amman and other cities on 14 January to protest soaring commodity prices, unemployment and poverty, calling for the sacking of the government.
On January 16 more than 3,000 Jordanian trade unionists, Islamists and leftists hold a sit-in outside parliament to protest the government's economic policies. On the 21st more than 5,000 people rally after weekly prayers in Amman and other cities.
SUDAN
A 25-year-old Sudanese man himself who set himself on fire in a suburb of Khartoum dies from his injuries on Wednesday. Widespread economic and political discontent in north Sudan has led to sporadic protests in recent weeks.
OMAN
Some 200 Omanis protest on 17 January against high prices and corruption, a rare phenomenon in the Arab Gulf monarchy.
MAURITANIA
Mauritanian Yacoub Ould Dahoud sets himself on fire in an anti-government protest on 17 January because he is "unhappy with the political situation in the country and angry with the government."
YEMEN
Yemeni police disperse hundreds of protesters chanting pro-Tunisia slogans at Sanaa University on 18 January.
