Anyone remember the optimism around the Arab spring
I remember being in middle school learning about the Arab spring as it was happening and then in high school about the reasons for the protests yet I find it kinda sad how it didn’t change much. Egypt and Tunisia seem to be under a dictatorship more authoritarian, corrupt and as incompetent than the previous governments. Syria just ended(?) a civil war yet the country is in shambles and parts of the country are still in war, the gulf states are still under theoretical monarchy. Only nation I can think of that’s improved has been Lebanon.
Kinda sad a movement of so much optimism and hope turned into nothing but conflicts.
