The protests constitutit the maist dramatic wave o social an poleetical unrest in Tunisie in three decades[11][12] an hae resultit in scores o daiths an injuries, maist o which wur the result o action bi polis an security forces against demonstrators. The protests wur spairked bi the sel-immolation o Mohamed Bouazizi on December 17[13] an led tae the oostin o Preses Zine El Abidine Ben Ali 28 days later on 14 Januar 2011, whan he offeecially resigned efter fleein tae Saudi Arabie, endin 23 years in pouer.[14][15] Labour unions wur said tae be an integral pairt o the protests.[16] The protests inspired seemilar actions throughoot the Arab warld; the Egyptian revolution began efter the events in Tunisie an an' a' led tae the oostin o Egyp's langtime preses Hosni Mubarak; furthermair, protests hae an aa taken place in Algerie, Yemen, Libie, Jordan, Bahrain, Iraq, Mauritanie,[17] Pakistan[18] an elsewhaur in the wider Middle East an North Africae.
