s*********8 发帖数: 901 | 1 The Arab Spring (Arabic: الربيع ا&
#1604;عربي , al-rabīˁ al-ˁarabī)
is the media term for a revolutionary wave of nonviolent and violent
demonstrations, violent and nonviolent protests, riots, and civil wars in
the Arab world that began on 18 December 2010.
To date, rulers have been forced from power in Tunisia,[1] Egypt,[2] Libya,[
3] and Yemen;[4] civil uprisings have erupted in Bahrain[5] and Syria;[6]
major protests have broken out in Algeria,[7] Iraq,[8] Jordan,[9] Kuwait,[10
] Morocco,[11] and Sudan;[12] and minor protests have occurred in Mauritania
,[13] Oman,[14] Saudi Arabia,[15] Djibouti,[16] and Western Sahara.[17]
There were border clashes in Israel in May 2011,[18] and the protests in
Iranian Khuzestan by the Arab minority erupted in 2011 as well.[19] 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.[20] The sectarian clashes in Lebanon were described as a
spillover violence of the Syrian uprising and hence the regional Arab Spring
.[21] In September 2012, a wave of social protests by Palestinians demanded
lower consumer prices and resignation of the Palestinian Prime Minister
Fayyad.
The protests have shared techniques of mostly civil resistance in sustained
campaigns involving strikes, demonstrations, marches, and rallies, as well
as the effective use of social media[22][23] to organize, communicate, and
raise awareness in the face of state attempts at repression and Internet
censorship.[24][25]
Many Arab Spring demonstrations have been met with violent responses from
authorities,[26][27][28] as well as from pro-government militias and counter
-demonstrators. These attacks have been answered with violence from
protestors in some cases.[29][30][31] A major slogan of the demonstrators in
the Arab world has been Ash-shab yurid isqat an-nizam ("the people want to
bring down the regime").[32]
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.[33][34][35] 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.[
