Text and/or other creative content from Arab Spring was copied or moved into Arab Spring concurrent incidents. The former page's history now serves to provide attribution for that content in the latter page, and it must not be deleted as long as the latter page exists.

Causes vs. movitations

It seems to me that the "motivations" section includes some info on causes. I think causes and motivations should be separate. The "motivations" would apply to why the motives of all these rebels/dissenters are doing what they're doing, while "causes" would cover why this is happening now and not 5 years ago or 5 years from now. Admittedly, the line between these two is blurry, however, I still think the distinction should be made.

There is also very little info on causes. I didn't see the argument that Iraq becoming a democracy or semi-democracy being a major cause, but I know many people say this (particularly conservatives). Ideally, I'd like to see an entire subsection with multiple paragraphs on that issue, because I find it very interesting.

I'm interested in any feedback/observations/ideas/concerns on this matter. Thanks. Byelf2007 (talk) 19:42, 21 August 2012‎ (UTC)[reply]

Missing Causes: Food Prices. I remember this was certainly a thing in Tunisia. When people are hungry they tend not to keep quiet. 66.78.121.14 (talk) 15:49, 8 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Sudan protests

There are protests in Sudan calling for fall of the regime after the government increased the fuel price. If anyone of you are interested in that topic, please do come at Sudanese protests (2011–present) and help edit it. Uploading photos and videos will be good. Thank you.

Bahrain is more akin to Major Protests rather than having a catagory on its own. Since, as of this posting, its looking like Assad will rebuff the unrest in Syria, that dark blue should be reserved for that if/when that happens.
