Success Story 1: In 2011, the people of Tunisia revolted against the 23-year dictatorship of Zine El Abidine Ben Ali. The Tunisian Revolution was sparked by the self-immolation of a young street vendor, Mohamed Bouazizi, and it quickly spread throughout the country. Within weeks, Ben Ali was forced to flee the country, and Tunisia became the first Arab Spring country to successfully overthrow its dictator.
Success Story 2: In 2014, the people of Burkina Faso revolted against the 27-year dictatorship of Blaise Compaoré. The Burkinabé uprising was sparked by Compaoré's attempt to change the constitution so that he could run for a third term. Within days, Compaoré was forced to resign, and Burkina Faso became the second African country to successfully overthrow its dictator.
Success Story 3: In 2019, the people of Sudan revolted against the 30-year dictatorship of Omar al-Bashir. The Sudanese uprising was sparked by the government's decision to raise the price of bread. Within months, Bashir was overthrown by the military, and Sudan became the third African country to successfully overthrow its dictator in the 21st century.
