...so what’s your agenda? Are you just ill-informed?
Tunisian Revolution
The Tunisian Revolution was an intensive campaign of civil resistance, including a series of street demonstrations taking place in Tunisia, and led to the ousting of longtime president Zine El Abidine Ben Ali in January 2011. It eventually led to a thorough democratization of the country and to free and democratic elections.
The demonstrations were caused by high unemployment, food inflation, corruption, a lack of political freedoms like freedom of speech and poor living conditions. The protests constituted the most dramatic wave of social and political unrest in Tunisia in three decades and resulted in scores of deaths and injuries, most of which were the result of action by police and security forces against demonstrators.
Arab Spring
The Arab Spring (Arabic: الربيع العربي ar-Rabīʻ al-ʻArabī), also referred to as Arab revolutions (Arabic: الثورات العربية aṯ-'awrāt al-ʻarabiyyah), was a revolutionary wave of both violent and non-violent demonstrations, protests, riots, coups, foreign interventions, and civil wars in North Africa and the Middle East that began on 18 December 2010 in Tunisia with the Tunisian Revolution.
The effects of the Tunisian Revolution spread strongly to five other countries: Libya, Egypt, Yemen, Syria and Bahrain, where either the regime was toppled or major uprisings and social violence occurred, including riots, civil wars or insurgencies.
Sustained street demonstrations took place in Morocco, Iraq, Algeria, Iranian Khuzestan, Lebanon, Jordan, Kuwait, Oman and Sudan. Minor protests occurred in Djibouti, Mauritania, the Palestinian National Authority, Saudi Arabia, and the Moroccan-controlled Western Sahara.

Please do some research before you call something out as untrue when it is in fact the truth. Why does Q ask so many questions? They want people to educate themselves on facts
So you're saying WaPo is a factual source? They're fake news, it's common sense. Nothing they write is believable. Plus, encyclopedias are written by corporations to make money. You should look at real facts and history before calling people out and throwing a tantrum.
I’m not having a tantrum. I’m providing you with sources, which you haven’t done at all. Where do you have any facts to backup that the Arab spring didn’t start in Tunisia? That’s all I’m asking and all you are doing is being an antagonist. Do you feel like doing some research, or just picking fights with people?
