The Arab Spring
What is known as the Arab Spring started on the 17th of December 2010 when the Tunisian citizen Muhammad Bouazizi immolated himself as an expression of his anger.
This was after the impounding of his cart from which he used to sell fruit and vegetables, after the death of his father, to support his family which consisted of nine people, one of whom was disabled. What angered him most was that the policewoman (Fadiya Hamdi) slapped him across the face in front of everyone, which in turn made him burst into tears of shame. After that, he attempted to meet with someone in charge to make a complaint but to no avail. He then headed to the town hall and stood in front of it and covered himself with a flammable liquid and set himself on fire. The next day, the residents of the area Sidi Bouzeed came out protesting in support of Bouazizi and in protest against unemployment and the marginalisation of people from that district. This led to clashes with the security forces which turned into a popular uprising all over Tunisia.
This Intifada resulted in the resignation of the President, Zine el-Abidine, and his fleeing from the country. This started the Tunisian Revolution, which was the first revolution of the Arab Spring.
