Emad Hajjaj Caricatures On The Arab World Lately

Jordanian cartoonist Emad Hajjaj has done some interesting work recently on the various political developments in the Arab world that have dominated the news this past month or so. It is perhaps coincidence that all these events should coincide at the same time, however, they’ve provided some great inspiration for some spectacular visual documentation of a different variety: caricatures. Here’s a selection of the one’s Hajjaj has produced in the past month or so, looking at all the instability in Tunisia, Sudan, Egypt, Lebanon and Jordan.
