Since the immolation of Mohamed Bouazizi on December 17, 2010 in Tunisia, the trajectories of the countries concerned by the said Arab Spring have been very contrasted.
Between a democratic transition for whatever reason in Tunisia and civil wars in Yemen, Libya and Syria through an authoritarian restoration in Egypt.
Without forgetting Iraq, Lebanon, Algeria, which remained behind the movement of 2011 but which experienced in 2019 a wave of "degagiste".
Ten years after the start of the Arab Spring, is it time for a final assessment?
