Arab Spring

Libya's Colonel Gaddafi gave up his Weapons of Mass Destruction programme in 2003; eight years later he was dead in a ditch, overthrown by the Arab Spring protests that were backed by Western air power.

She was assigned to learn Arabic, around the time of the Arab spring, and worked on counter threat finance and counter terrorism.

Relatively unscathed by the Arab Spring and blessed with sovereign wealth funds, oil and natural gas, these stable authoritarian powers, particularly Saudi Arabia, have begun to play an outsize role in the region.

Ennahdha governed the North African nation for a short while after a popular uprising dubbed the Arab Spring.

For example, this was seen with the Arab Spring and in other parts of the world as well.
