This Week's Top News Stories on YouTube--The war in Iraq officially ends, post-election violence in Egypt, and a tragic attack in Belgium






Everyday on the CitizenTube Channel (and @CitizenTube on Twitter), along with our curation partners @storyful, we look at how the top news stories are covered on YouTube. Every week we'll post a weekly recap of the top news stories of the week:

We witnessed the relatively low-key end to the nine-year war in Iraq in a quiet withdrawal of troops that left many wondering if it was all worth it.
We watched more violence erupt in Egypt, this time following the country's second round of parliamentary voting as a sit-in at the parliament reached two weeks long, with rumors of activists being detained and badly beaten.
We saw an awful tragedy unfold in Liege, Belgium when a man went on a rampage in a busy marketplace with grenades and firearms, killing at least five people and himself.
We observed the largest protests to take place in Russia in decades after people fed up with corruption came out in the tens of thousands against recent allegedly fraudulent parliamentary elections.
We followed all of the GOP candidates on the US campaign trail in their final debate before the primary season kicks off with the Iowa caucuses on January 3.
We were saddened by the killing of two student-teacher protesters during clashes with police in Mexico in which the demonstrators were reportedly protesting their daily food subsidies.
We noted the first post-World War II conviction for a former French head of state in which Jacques Chirac was found guilty of embezzlement and sentenced to a 2-year suspended jail term.
We monitored Occupy protests all along the US west coast that attempted to shut down numerous city ports as well as an Occupy protest at Goldmen Sachs bank in New York.
And finally, we took note of record breaking rains, mudslides, and flooding on New Zealand's south island with an array of videos documenting the damage.
