Sidi Bouzid (Tunisian Arabic: سيدي بوزيد‎ "  "), sometimes called "Sidi Bou Zid" or "Sīdī Bū Zayd", is a city in Tunisia and is the capital of Sidi Bouzid Governorate in the centre of the country.
 Following the suicide of Mohamed Bouazizi in Sidi Bouzid, it was the site of the first clashes of the Tunisian Revolution and a catalyst for other protests in the region, often known as the Arab Spring.
Mouhcine Fikri was a Moroccan fisherman living in Al Hoceima.
 On October 28, 2016, policeman confiscated 500kg of swordfish that he had caught out-of-season, illegally.
 When Fikri climbed into the back of a rubbish truck to retrieve the fish, the rubbish crusher mechanism was activated, crushing him to death.
 Video footage of his death was widely played on social media in Morocco.
 Outrage led to protests in Al Hoceima, that spread across Morocco.
 Fikri's death drew parallels with the suicide of Mohamed Bouazizi, the Tunisian fruit seller whose death in 2010 sparked protests in Tunisia leading both to revolution there and to the wider 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.
Tarek el-Tayeb Mohamed Bouazizi (Arabic: محمد البوعزيزي‎ ‎ ; 29 March 1984 – 4 January 2011) was a Tunisian street vendor who set himself on fire on 17 December 2010, in response to the confiscation of his wares and the harassment and humiliation that he said was inflicted on him by a municipal official and her aides.
 This act became a catalyst for the Tunisian Revolution and the wider Arab Spring, inciting demonstrations and riots throughout Tunisia in protest of social and political issues in the country.
 Simmering public anger and sporadic violence intensified following Bouazizi's death, leading then-president Zine El Abidine Ben Ali to step down on 14 January 2011, after 23 years in power.
