Reflection

The Jasmine Revolution 20011 represented an event other than the political map in Tunisia, North Africa and the entire Middle East. Other revolutions in Egypt, Libya, Yemen and Syria, resulting in hidden areas of political conflict in Tunisia. Oppression  in Arab countries and lack of freedom is the main sparks of the Arab Spring.  Killing has clearly increase since the revolution started, security situation in these Arab countries are not settled. There are democratization movements Political reforms but it can’t be working perfectly smooth cause good results after revolutions take more times to happen.
