(AFP Photo / Filippo Monteforte) 11:06 GMT: The number of arrests in Spain during the general strike has now risen to 62 with 32 people injured, 18 of whom are police officers. 10:51 GMT: In France syndicates have organized around 130 rallies against austerity measures and the French government. “This is the first time in the history of the EU that a social movement of this scale will take place simultaneously in a number of countries,” said the French General Confederation of Labor in a statement. 10:11 GMT: The total of arrests in Spain has now reached 57, according to Spanish police. A protester was detained in Malaga in the south of the country after he attacked a police officer outside a bar, reports Spanish publication elMundo. 10:02 GMT: A countrywide railway strike has paralyzed Belgium, forcing thousands of commuters to take to already crowded motorways. The disruption includes nigh-speed services to London and Paris. 10:00 GMT: Thousands of people are marching in the center of Florence, Italy to protest Prime Minister Mario Monti’s austerity measures. 09:39 GMT: A general strike has been organized in Portugal with anti-austerity rallies in 40 towns and cities throughout the country. Transport services have effectively ground to a halt, with only 10 per cent of train services expected to run. 09:31 GMT: Police have arrested 42 people across Spain for damaging public property and disorderly behavior as protests began this morning. In addition, 18 people have been injured in scuffles with police throughout the country. 09:25 GMT: Mass anti-austerity rallies are unfolding throughout the EU as thousands of workers voice their rage at crippling government cuts as part of the European Day of Action and Solidarity.

Nigerians are suffering more than these Europeans, but would rather suffer and smile. Where people all over the world are determining their destinies through a coalition of efforts to change status quo, we are here waiting for 2015 elections to come before doing something. I pray those unborn children won't one day curse us all for their fate. 2 Likes |

Mehn! Europe is wearing a bad shape with this austerity measure thing, especially Greece. I know some people in this part of the world will still hide inside a suit case or airplane tyre compartment just to get to europe. |

Now you know why many wealthy Africans are bringing their money back to Africa; they realise that the European economy is going down. 1 Like |

Nigerian youths have not suffered yet. They still have money to buy blackberry phones and pose. Imagine in Lagos, where the most of the subsidy protest would have made the most impact, they turned it into a holiday carnival/jamboree. Instead of my people to be protesting, they will baff up, looking nice like they were going to a party, troop to MKO square and listen to Terry G, Banky W and Tuface entertain them. Many girls will dress in their best so that they will be toasted. Instead of protesting, you all were jomboree-ing, toasting and being toasted. Nigerians are still very comfortable. 3 Likes |

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yhNyRNLyH9I Tens of thousands of Portuguese seek jobs in Africa In the past year, at least 10,000 Portuguese people have moved to Angola and Mozambique. Portugal has been hit hard by Europe's economic crisis, with its economy continuing to shrink and unemployment still rising. Tens of thousands of Portuguese have been forced to leave their country to seek a brighter future, and an increasing number are applying for visas to former colonies such as Angola, Mozambique and Brazil. 1 Like |
