Milton Leon · Answer 1

Leaders of three countries were forced out of power.

Explanation:

The Arab Spring was a wave of protests that spread across the Arabic-speaking countries in North Africa and the Middle East such as Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, and Yemen.

It all started in Tunisia, with the population uprising Tunisia's president Zine al-Abidine Ben Ali fled to Saudi Arabia and left power after 23 years.

After that, Arab Spring spread to Egypt, the protests forced Mubarak out of office after 30 years.

Yemen also killed their president Ali Abdullah Saleh during this period.

This supposed to be multiple choice? Only positive of the Arab spring in my opinion was the Tunisian revolution, they were able to, by popular uprising, oust the corrupt government of Zine El Abidine Ben Ali and have a peaceful and relatively stable transition of Democratic elections. No other country that experienced uprising can say the same.
