== External interference == |
|||
The article should include the external interference (or if it has another name) in the affairs of the Arab countries to implement its agenda by exploiting or organizing these demonstrations, supporting the rebels and establishing militias, Libya and Syria are crystal clear examples of this. --[[Special:Contributions/62.68.51.218|62.68.51.218]] ([[User talk:62.68.51.218|talk]]) 07:18, 19 December 2018 (UTC) |

Where does the infographic originate? I have seen it reproduced on several websites but would like to know its origin for citation purposes. [[Special:Contributions/81.158.47.79|81.158.47.79]] ([[User talk:81.158.47.79|talk]]) 16:06, 16 February 2023 (UTC) |

The current infobox says the international estimate of the death toll is 523,488 – 523,492. However, the table this refers to says 61,000+. There are no references for the higher number, unless the current phase of the [[Arab Winter]] is included, with the Syrian and Yemeni civil war death tolls as well. However, this article shouldn't include any of these because the Arab Spring, according to the article, ended in 2012. I am going to change the erroneous statistic, unless someone can find a reference for this, but I doubt over half a million were killed between 2011 and 2012.

I noticed errors and confusing writing in this section and I edited to address this and improve the clarity of the content. -- e.g., one cited source was named but not identified as an expert, or the context of his statements (an op-ed).

Under the "Summary of conflicts by country, the map colours Lebanon as red (Major protest) even though the table below shows it to only have had "Protests and governmental changes" which should be coloured blue. I am not sure how to change the colour myself so hopefully someone else can. --[[User:MrMineHeads|MrMineHeads]] ([[User talk:MrMineHeads|talk]]) 20:38, 31 May 2019 (UTC) |

I thought it was important to reflect the debated aspect of the term “Arab Spring” and its usage, reflecting the fact that it is a debated terminology amongst some scholars and observers. I edited the etymology section by merging the below to the existing section: |
|||
== Societal collapse == |
|||
The denomination “Arab Spring” is contested by some scholars and observers claiming that the term is problematic for several reasons. First, it was coined by Western commentators, not those involved in the events. Protestors instead described their own political actions as "uprising" (intifada), Arab "awakening" (sahwa) or Arab renaissance (nahda), using expressions like ''al-marar al-Arabi'' (the Arab bitterness), ''karama'' (dignity) and ''thawra'' (revolution). 1 4 Some authors argue that western governments, scholars and media used the term to minimise people’s revolutionary aims and discourse. 2 3 4 The term “Spring” illustrates this problematic as it follows the western example of the [[Revolutions of 1848]] referred to as “Spring of Nations”, which signifies an expectation that the events would replicate the example of democratic revolutions set by the West. 1 4 The term “Arab” is problematic as well as it homogenises the region’s cultural specificities and oversimplifies the nature of its diverse histories and cultures.1 [[User:Curiouschanter|Curiouschanter]] ([[User talk:Curiouschanter|talk]]) 00:02, 4 March 2024 (UTC) |

The reference for "In other countries, particularly Syria and Libya, the apparent result of Arab Spring protests was a complete societal collapse" [Anderson, Lisa (May 2011). "Demystifying the Arab Spring: Parsing the Differences Between Tunisia, Egypt, and Libya". Foreign Affairs. 90 (3): 2–7.] in the [[Arab Spring#Arab Winter|Arab Winter]] section doesn't seem to support the statement. Syria isn't mentioned at all, and the discussion of Libya doesn't really justify the claim of "societal collapse." It calls Libya a "failed State"…but indicates that that was the case ''before'' the Arab Spring. https://www.foreignaffairs.com/articles/libya/2011-04-03/demystifying-arab-spring |
