Egypt revolution: The Egyptian Revolution of 2011 took place following a popular uprising that began on 25 January 2011. It was a diverse movement of demonstrations, marches, plaza occupations, riots, non-violent civil resistance, acts of civil disobedience and labour strikes. Millions of protesters from a variety of socio-economic and religious backgrounds demanded the overthrow of the regime of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak.

The events began on 18 December 2010 and led to the ousting of long time President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali in January 2011 eventually, leading to a thorough democratization of the country and to free and democratic elections which saw the victory of a coalition of the Islamist Ennahda Movement with the centre-left Congress for the Republic and the left-leaning Ettakatol as junior partners.
Civil war in Syria: Syria is going under phase of civil war as declared by red cross society. So many causalities and hazards took places in protest of bhassar al Assad (Baath party) whose family is ruling since 1971. Demand is resignation of Assad regime.
