Arab Winter (1 déc. 2012 – 23 h 28 min, 4 oct. 2025 ans)

Description:

The Arab Winter was a resurgence of authoritarianism, absolute monarchies, and Islamic extremism that evolved in the aftermath of the Arab Spring protests in North African and Middle Eastern countries from 2010-2012. It was characterized by the emergence of multiple regional civil wars, mounting regional instability, economic and demographic decline of Arab countries, and ethno-religious sectarian strife. The events of the Arab Winter included the Syrian Civil War, the Iraqi insurgency and the following civil war, the Egyptian Crisis, the Libyan Crisis, and the Crisis in Yemen. Perhaps the most significant event in the Arab Winter was the rise of the extremist group Islamic State, which controlled large swathes of land in the region from 2014 to 2019. The political turmoil and violence in the Middle East and North Africa resulted in massive population displacement in the region.
