The 2011 Omani protests were a series of protests in the Persian Gulf country of Oman that occurred as part of the revolutionary wave popularly known as the "Arab Spring".
The Bahraini protests were a series of anti-government protests from 2011 until 2013.
 The protests were inspired by the unrest of the 2011 Arab Spring and 2011–12 Iranian protests and escalated to daily clashes after the King Hamad government violently repressed a revolt with the help of foreign mercenary forces (mostly Pakistanis) and a coalition of neighbouring Sheikhdom armies under the name of Peninsula Shield Force, however Oman and Kuwait refrained from sending troops or supporting Saudi Arabia and UAE armies in Bahrain.
 Iran is alleged by United States and others to have a hand in the arming of Bahraini militants.
 The Bahraini protests were a series of demonstrations, amounting to a sustained campaign of civil and violent resistance in the Persian Gulf country of Bahrain.
 As part of the revolutionary wave of protests in the Middle East and North Africa following the self-immolation of Mohamed Bouazizi in Tunisia, the Bahraini protests were initially aimed at achieving greater political freedom and equality for the majority Shia population, and expanded to a call to end the monarchy of Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa following a deadly night raid on 17 February 2011 against protesters at the Pearl Roundabout in Manama, known locally as Bloody Thursday.
General Malek Bin Sulaiman Al Ma'amari is an Omani military and political figure.
 He was the chairman of the National Committee for Civil Defence until he was dismissed by Sultan Qaboos during 2011 Omani protests.
Saving Hope: The Long Way to the Arab Spring (Arabic: إنقاذ الأمل: الطريق الطويل إلى الربيع العربي‎ ‎ ) is a 2013 non-fiction book by Bahraini cultural critic Nader Kadhim.
 Written in Arabic, it is the ninth book by Kadhim, who works as a Professor of Cultural Studies at the University of Bahrain.
 Written in two stages, before and during the Arab Spring, the book discusses this wave of protests from two sides; the past and the future.
 The past is divided into three waves, each of them corresponding to an era of hope and aspiration.
 First is the enlightenment wave, followed by the revolutionary wave and finally the democratic wave.
 The author then tackles the Arab Spring and argues that it is not the time for celebration, but an important station in the long way towards democracy.
Globe Roundabout (or Sohar Roundabout) was an iconic roundabout in the Sultanate of Oman, located in the industrial city of Sohar.
 The roundabout was the centre of 2011 Omani protests.
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 and civil wars in North Africa and the Middle East that began on 17 December 2010 in Tunisia with the Tunisian Revolution.
The Cabinet of Oman is the chief executive body of the Sultanate of Oman.
 On 6 March 2011, Sultan Qaboos bin Said al-Said responded to the 2011 Omani protests by dismissing 12 ministers.
Social media’s role in the revolutionary wave of demonstrations and protests that came to be known as the Arab Spring remains a highly debated subject.
 Uprisings occurred both in states with very high levels of internet usage (such as Bahrain, with 88% of its population online in 2011) and in states with some of the lowest internet penetration (Yemen and Libya).
The Revolutions of 1820 were a revolutionary wave in Europe.
 It included revolutions in Spain, Portugal, Russia, and Italy for constitutional monarchies, and for independence from Ottoman rule in Greece.
 Unlike the revolutionary wave in the 1830s, these tended to take place in the peripheries of Europe.
The 2010–12 Algerian protests was a series of protests taking place throughout Algeria, lasting from 28 December 2010 to early 2012.
 The protests had been inspired by similar protests across the Middle East and North Africa.
 Causes cited by the protesters included unemployment, the lack of housing, food-price inflation, corruption, restrictions on freedom of speech and poor living conditions.
 While localized protests were already commonplace over previous years, extending into December 2010, an unprecedented wave of simultaneous protests and riots, sparked by sudden rises in staple food prices, erupted all over the country starting in January 2011.
 These were quelled by government measures to lower food prices, but were followed by a wave of self-immolations, most of them in front of government buildings.
 Opposition parties, unions, and human rights organisations then began to hold weekly demonstrations, despite these being illegal without government permission under the ongoing state of emergency; the government suppressed these demonstrations as far as possible, but in late February yielded to pressure and lifted the state of emergency.
 Meanwhile, protests by unemployed youth, typically citing unemployment, "hogra" (oppression), and infrastructure problems, resumed, occurring almost daily in towns scattered all over the country.
