What was Tunisia's role in the Arab Spring?
Tunisia was the epicenter and starting point of the Arab Spring. The domestic problems in Tunisia were particularly acute, such as the high degree of unemployment, strong government censorship, business cronyism, and a sense of despair over future prospects. This led to protests and a few self-immolations, including, notoriously, that of Mohamed Bouazizi, which instigated a massive country-wide protest. Contrary to what most Tunisians (and Arabs outside of Tunisia) were expecting, "President" Zine Abidine Ben Ali abdicated and fled to Saudi Arabia instead of sending out the military to kill the protesters. Once it was demonstrated in Tunisia that corrupt Arab governments could be overthrown and replaced, the style of protest spread across the Arab World. Unfortunately, with the exception of Tunisia, no other governments were successfully overthrown or the overthrow led to more chaos or increased authoritarianism.
