The Arab Spring movement (2011) was successful in creating new governments to be elected throughout the region due to various factors:
1. Lack of jobs for the lower classes: High unemployment rates and economic hardships among the lower classes fueled discontent and motivated people to seek change through protests and uprisings.
2. Impact of social media: Social media platforms played a crucial role in mobilizing and organizing protests by enabling rapid communication and coordination among activists and ordinary citizens. Information spread quickly, galvanizing support for the movement.
3. Government corruption and repression: Widespread corruption, lack of political freedoms, and human rights abuses by the existing regimes provoked widespread dissatisfaction and a desire for political reform.
4. Youth demographics: A significant portion of the population in many Arab countries consists of young people who were disillusioned with the status quo and sought a more democratic and inclusive political system.
5. Support from international community: Some external actors, including certain Western countries, expressed support for democratic reforms in the region, which may have emboldened and encouraged protesters in their demands for change.
These factors, among others, contributed to the success of the Arab Spring movement in catalyzing the creation of new governments through elections in various countries in the region.
