Protests beginning in Tunisia in December 2010 spread across many Arab states. Shared grievances included authoritarian rule, corruption, unemployment and police violence, but each country followed a distinct path of leadership change, reform, repression or war.

Syrian war and regional displacement
Syrian protests in 2011 met violent state repression and developed into a fragmented, internationalized war involving government forces, multiple opposition groups, extremist organizations and foreign powers. The Assad government fell in December 2024, beginning an uncertain transition rather than ending all conflict.
