2011-2020: The Arab World - A decade of trial
2020-12-30
[AlAhram] Ten years after the Arab Spring much has changed in the Middle East, but a painful era of transition still resonates in the region

Next month will mark a decade since the 2011 uprisings that rocked several Arab countries and lead to the collapse of four regimes. But the fallout from the chaos they gave rise to and that rippled through the region has lasted for years after the momentous events and is still lingering on today.

The Arabs arrive at the 10th anniversary of the Arab Spring toggling between confidence and exasperation, bravado and grievance, and marinating in a frustration that has cast many parts of their region as tottering on the brink of state failure.
