- The Arab Spring (, ) is a term for the revolutionary wave of demonstrations and protests (both non-violent and violent), riots, and civil wars in the Arab world that began on 18 December 2010. To date, rulers have been forced from power in Tunisia, Egypt (twice), Libya, and Yemen; civil uprisings have erupted in Bahrain and Syria; major protests have broken out in Algeria, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Morocco, and Sudan; and minor protests have occurred in Mauritania, Oman, Saudi Arabia, Djibouti, Western Sahara, and the Palestinian Authority.
- The Arab Spring was a wave of protest in various Arab and Muslim-majority countries that drove regime change, toppled authoritarian governments and sometimes a mix of both. New communication technologies, such as social media, were credited with organizing the protestors and that the spirit of protests spread to Europe and the United States. For many observers, the important questions about the Arab Spring are not about the liberal and democratic image offered by the Western civilization but by the influence and impact it had on Islamist religious extremist.
- The trouble apparently flared up when Libyan traitors were given drugs by the West and were paid to destroy the country by trying to bring democracy and equality, at least according to Gaddafi/Qadaffi/Ghadafi/Kaddafy/Gadaffu/Lady Gaga. The revolutions were only possible with the help of the Americans, in Operation: Democracy in Action. Have the revolutions been worth it? Perhaps, provided as we can protect ancient archaeological sites from those psychos.
- An intelligence file on the North African revolutions of 2011 Aljazeera, Al-Arabiya and Al Hiwar TV play a crucial role for the West in shifting the values and culture of the region. The BBC World Service is to receive a "significant" sum of money from the US government to help combat the blocking of TV and internet services in countries including Iran and China. In what the BBC said is the first deal of its kind, an agreement is expected to be signed later this month that will see US state department money – understood to be a low six-figure sum – given to the [BBC] World Service to invest in developing anti-jamming technology and software. The funding is also expected to be used to educate people in countries with state censorship in how to circumnavigate the blocking of internet and TV

- The Arab Spring (, ) is a term for the revolutionary wave of demonstrations and protests (both non-violent and violent), riots, and civil wars in the Arab world that began on 18 December 2010. To date, rulers have been forced from power in Tunisia, Egypt (twice), Libya, and Yemen; civil uprisings have erupted in Bahrain and Syria; major protests have broken out in Algeria, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Morocco, and Sudan; and minor protests have occurred in Mauritania, Oman, Saudi Arabia, Djibouti, Western Sahara, and the Palestinian Authority. Related events outside of the Arab World included protests in Iranian Khuzestan by the Arab minority in April 2011 and border clashes in Israel in May 2011. Weapons and Tuareg fighters returning from the Libyan civil war stoked a simmering conflict in Mali which has been described as "fallout" from the Arab Spring in North Africa. The sectarian clashes in Lebanon were described as a spillover violence of the Syrian uprising and hence the regional Arab Spring. The protests have shared some techniques of civil resistance in sustained campaigns involving strikes, demonstrations, marches, and rallies, as well as the effective use of social media to organize, communicate, and raise awareness in the face of state attempts at repression and Internet censorship. Many Arab Spring demonstrations have been met with violent responses from authorities, as well as from pro-government militias and counter-demonstrators. These attacks have been answered with violence from protestors in some cases. A major slogan of the demonstrators in the Arab world has been Ash-sha`b yurid isqat an-nizam ("the people want to bring down the regime"). Some observers have drawn comparisons between the Arab Spring movements and the Revolutions of 1989 (also known as the "Autumn of Nations") that swept through Eastern Europe and the Second World, in terms of their scale and significance. Others, however, have pointed out that there are several key differences between the movements, such as the desired outcomes and the organizational role of internet technology in the Arab revolutions.
