The Arab Spring is a period of protests and revolutions throughout North Africa and all throughout the Middle East. Tunisian street vendor Mohamed Bouazizi, set himself on fire to protest his living conditions in December of 2010, sparking the events of the Arab Spring.
The Arab spring is a global issue. There are many reasons as to why it has such a huge impact on the world. One of those reasons is that many people whose countries are revolting or protesting live in one of the worlds superpowers. For example, the United States, United Kingdom, and France. The people of these countries are fighting for a freer Middle East. Over a hundred million Arabs (a third of the Arab world) are freer today because they have escaped from dictator led regimes in the the last 10 months. In the long run, a more democratic, prosperous Middle East with better governance and less abuse within human rights, will reassure the residents of these countries, of there safety and security.
Algeria, Bahrain, Egypt, Iran, Israel, Palestine, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Tunisia, Turkey, UAE, and Yemen, are all countries that have been and/or are still being impacted by the Arab Spring. The movement is till this day quickly spreading.
The Arab Spring is still an issue until this day in most countries within the Middle East, and in the United States.
