Common card · No. 361895

The 2018–2024 Arab protests, also referred to as the Second Arab Spring, were a series of anti-government protests which began in several Arab world countries in 2018. In Iraq, the deadliest incident of civil unrest since the fall of Saddam Hussein resulted in its prime minister Adil Abdul-Mahdi being replaced. Sustained civil disobedience in Sudan resulted in the overthrow of president Omar al-Bashir in a military coup d'état, the Khartoum massacre, and the transfer of power from a military junta to the Transitional Sovereignty Council but led to a civil war in 2023. In Algeria, a series of mass protests resulted in the resignation of president Abdelaziz Bouteflika, and the postponement of the scheduled presidential election. Other protests also took place in Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, Syria, and Tunisia, along with economic protests in the Gaza Strip.
