Among the tyrants deposed by the Arab Spring, Bashar al-Assad of Syria is currently listed in this article as having been deposed in 2024. But can the ousting of a tyrant a full 13 years after the Arab Spring really be counted as a consequence of those uprisings?

I submit that Assad halted the Arab Spring: that is to say, he refused to concede (unlike the other tyrants who were toppled by the movement) and, through extreme genocidal means, held onto power, until long after the Arab Spring had ended. Does it really make sense to count his ouster as a result of an uprising 13 years in the past? Certainly he was initially targeted by that revolution, but he wasn’t toppled by it: he survived it. His eventual removal from power happened long after the Arab Spring was history. Thanks and happy editing, Chillowack (talk) 05:59, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The Syrian Civil War has a death toll of over 600K. How is the total 60K for the entire Arab Spring, then? — Veggies (talk) 05:34, 6 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

i was thinking the same thing, maybe the Syrian Civil War and the Arab Spring are considered two different events? idk Mikirrie320 (talk) 06:16, 12 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Right before Social media, there’s an arbitrary-seeming sentence on rising food prices and some charts with farming data. Was that supposed to be on another article? DaBOXEN (talk) 22:52, 6 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
