Roni Basak, Wind of Arab Spring in North Africa: Causes, Consequences and the Way Forward, Journal of International Relations, 04, o4, pp.83-101, June 2013.

This paper examines the nature, aspects and objectives the continuing uprising all over the North Africa. A disturbing trend is emerging in some parts of the region: Self immolation as a tool of political protest the hero of the Tunisian “Jasmine revolution”, Mohamed Bouaziz, was the first victim to attempt suicide by fire to protest the miserable living conditions in his native Tunisia. Since then, there have been reports of similar desperate acts in Egypt, Libya, Syria, Algeria, Morocco and some other North African states. This new wave of political and social protests is very distressing as it claims the lives of desperate and vulnerable people, young and old, men and women. In the face of these grim images and desperate acts, the leadership of those countries remained silence and violence. The protests, have shared techniques of civil resistance in sustained campaigns involving sticks, demonstrations, marches and rallies as well as the use of social media to organize, communicate and raise awareness. Many demonstrations have met violent responses from authorities as well as from pro-government militants and counter demonstrations. The series of protests and demonstrations across the Middle East and North Africa has become known as the “Arab Spring” even though not all the participants in the protest are Arab.
