The Arab Spring
The Arab Spring began in 2010 when protests broke out in Tunisia and quickly spread across the Middle East and North Africa. The protests led to the overthrow of several long-standing dictators and marked a turning point in the region’s history.
The protests of the Arab Spring continued for several years, leading to dramatic changes in government and society in countries such as Egypt, Libya, Bahrain, Syria and Yemen. This historic uprising was a massive movement that inspired other nations around the world to demand more freedom and democracy from their governments. It also opened up new opportunities for regional cooperation and dialogue in the Middle East. The effects of this movement are still being felt today and it has been a major influence on the region in the past decade.
