Protests in Africa
 
There have been widespread anti war / anti American + UK protests in Africa. Judging by the reports, this seem quite widespread from as far a field as Sudan / Tunesia / Mozambique / Mauritania. The extract below came from the Telegraph, 14:00 on Tuesday. Good idea to avoid all crowds at present.

"Elsewhere in Africa, anti-war demonstrations have continued:

In the Mauritanian capital Nouakchott, at least 20,000 people took to the streets to demonstrate outside the United States embassy.

In Tunisia and Mozambique, thousands attended peaceful rallies against the war.
Police in the Senegalese capital, Dakar used tear gas to disperse students from outside the US embassy.

The leader of Djibouti, where the US has set up an anti-terror base, has also condemned the war, saying a pre-planned war cannot be justified by self-defence.

Students in the Sudanese capital, Khartoum, have held three days of protests. "

A rioter has been killed in the unrest in Khartoum and it definitely looks like a place to keep a low profile. Hopefully it will pass soon as the Sudanese are great people and very friendly but not so good at present.

If in doubt, get your insulation tape, or whatever else is available, and use it to write "No War!" down the side of your vehicle, in the local languge if possible.

I did something similiar in Pakistan with a t-shirt and it worked well.
