The Arab Spring, which began in late 2010, was sparked by widespread dissatisfaction with authoritarian regimes across the Arab world, particularly after the self-immolation of Mohamed Bouazizi in Tunisia. This act of protest catalyzed a wave of demonstrations against governmental corruption, economic hardship, and lack of political freedom. Social media played a crucial role in mobilizing and spreading information, leading to uprisings in countries like Egypt, Libya, and Syria. While some nations experienced significant changes in leadership and reforms, the aftermath remained complex, with some regions descending into civil conflict or maintaining authoritarian structures, shaping the contemporary Middle Eastern socio-political landscape.
