Arab Spring Begins

In the heart of Tunisia, a single act of desperation ignited a flame that would soon engulf the entire Arab world. On December 17, 2010, Mohamed Bouazizi, a street vendor, set himself on fire in protest against government corruption and economic hardship. This shocking event became the catalyst for a wave of uprisings that swept across North Africa and the Middle East. From Tunisia to Egypt, Libya to Syria, millions of people took to the streets, demanding political reform, social justice, and economic opportunities. The Arab Spring had begun, challenging decades of authoritarian rule and sparking hope for a new era of democracy in the region. Little did anyone know that this moment would reshape the geopolitical landscape and leave an indelible mark on history.
