An unforeseeable wave of protests went throughout the whole Arabic region soon after the Tunisian street vendor Mohamed Boauzizi set himself alight on December 17th, 2010.
Retrospectively, the self-immolation marks the beginning of the so called Arab Spring. Until now, it led to the Tunisian and Egyptian Revolution and to the Libyan Civil War, next to many different shifts in the policy of the Arab leaders. The future may be unpredictable, but the facts seem approachable.
Considering different sources, we collected and visualized relevant information on the countries met by protests and uprisings.
