SIPRI Yearbook 2012
2. Armed conflict
During 2011 the sudden and dramatic popular uprisings in parts of the Middle East and North Africa, which together constituted the Arab Spring, produced diverse patterns of conflict. From the street protests that led to the flight into exile of Tunisia’s president, to the serious armed confrontations that developed in Libya and Syria, the emergence of mass opposition to the region’s ruling regimes was the precursor to dynamic and complex forms of violence (see section I in this chapter).
