The Year of Protests

It began with the Arab spring.

2013 is the year of protests.

The protests gathered for different reasons.


 Brazil


Hongkong


Indonesia


 Turkey


Egypt


The wave of protests has been largely aided by the internet.

The number of protestors is no longer in the mere thousands. Millions can turn out on the streets in a matter of hours.

The Arab governments found out to their horror during the Arab Spring, dictatorships and autocratics lack the experience to address the protesters’ anger.
