Today We Cry For You

The biggest change in the Arab world occured with the Arab Spring. Unemployment, food inflation, political corruption, freedom of expression, irregularities and poor living conditions triggered the Arab Spring.

Zeynel Abidin Ben Ali, ruled Tunisia for 23 years, left the country. Hosni Mubarak's 30 years in power,  has been defeated by stubbornly waiting crowd in Tahrir square. Yemen President Saleh was forced to leave. Libyan leader Colonel Gaddafi was captured and killed in his hometown Sirte.

In Algeria, Lebanon, Jordan, Mauritania, Oman, Sudan, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Djibouti, Morocco, Iraq, Bahrain, Iran, Kuwait and the Western Saharasmall, large scale protests and demonstrations, the occupation of public spaces, conflicts, floods prisons, public buildings were occured.  Even in non-arab countries; Iran, Armenia, Albania were observed some small-scale protests during Arab Spring. Causes and results of Arap Spring are still debated.

The fire of Arap Spring was burned by Mohammed Buazizi, who is a university graduate and a stand salesman. His vegetable and fruit stand was confiscated by the authorities. In  December 17 2010, he has really did . Attempted to commit suicide by burning himself. Funeral attendees said "We will revenge for you!". "Today We Cry For You!" "We Will Make Cry!"  those who caused your death. This miraculous event has created a domino effect for the Arap Spring.
