Raids on local gay bars were common. The LGBTQ community had no legal protections. Homosexuality was considered a mental illness. Members of the gay community were subjected to harassment, violence, and discrimination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-verse\" style=\"font-size:17px ; text-align:justify\">In the early morning hours of June 28, 1969, police officers raided the Stonewall Inn. The place was a haven for people with diverse sexual orientations and gender identity. People had enough, and a protest began that same morning in New York City. The violent protest came to be known as Stonewall Riots.

The incident changed the course of history. That is why Tunisia is called the \u2018cradle of Arab Spring&#8217;. Tunisian President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali, the fountainhead of Islamic fundamentalism, fled to Saudi Arabia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-verse\" style=\"font-size:17px ; text-align:justify\">The Arab Spring was a wave of uprising against authoritarian regimes that took place in North Africa and middle east countries in the years 2010 and 2011. Tunisia became the first country to undergo a peaceful transfer of power. But the same cannot be said for other countries.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"512\" height=\"384\" src=\"https:\/\/polscienceweb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/image.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3647\" srcset=\"https:\/\/polscienceweb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/image.png 512w, https:\/\/polscienceweb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/image-300x225.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><figcaption><strong>Famous Protests<\/strong>&nbsp;Image:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:Infobox_collage_for_MENA_protests.PNG\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Source<\/a><br><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"503\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/polscienceweb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Screenshot-2021-02-03-at-8.30.17-PM.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3650\" srcset=\"https:\/\/polscienceweb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Screenshot-2021-02-03-at-8.30.17-PM.png 503w, https:\/\/polscienceweb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Screenshot-2021-02-03-at-8.30.17-PM-300x282.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 503px) 100vw, 503px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:33px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:31px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-verse\" style=\"font-size:17px ; text-align:justify\">In Egypt, President Hosni Mubarak had to step down after ruling for 30 years.

It was part of the strategy against terrorism following the 9\/11 attacks in 2001. The USA accused Saddam Hussein of having links with al-Qaeda that carried out 9\/11. It was said that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:39px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/polscienceweb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/IRAQ-copy-1024x499.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3648\" width=\"542\" height=\"264\" srcset=\"https:\/\/polscienceweb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/IRAQ-copy-1024x499.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/polscienceweb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/IRAQ-copy-300x146.jpg 300w, https:\/\/polscienceweb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/IRAQ-copy-768x374.jpg 768w, https:\/\/polscienceweb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/IRAQ-copy-1536x749.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/polscienceweb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/IRAQ-copy-2048x998.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/polscienceweb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/IRAQ-copy-1170x570.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/polscienceweb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/IRAQ-copy-1920x936.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/polscienceweb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/IRAQ-copy-585x285.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 542px) 100vw, 542px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/polscienceweb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/512px-London_anti-war_protest_banners.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3643\" width=\"369\" height=\"492\" srcset=\"https:\/\/polscienceweb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/512px-London_anti-war_protest_banners.jpg 512w, https:\/\/polscienceweb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/512px-London_anti-war_protest_banners-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 369px) 100vw, 369px\" \/><figcaption><strong>Famous Protests<\/strong>  Image: <a href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:London_anti-war_protest_banners.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Source<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:45px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-verse\" style=\"font-size:17px ; text-align:justify\">The protests were organized by anti-war groups around the world.

People came together in East Berlin in a mass protest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-verse\" style=\"font-size:17px ; text-align:justify\">East Germany came under pressure to loosen travel restrictions. A political leader of East Germany was given the task to announce the easing of travel controls. The intention was not to open the border completely. But he was not given the full information as to when the new regulations would come into force. In confusion, he stated that it was with immediate effect.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-verse\" style=\"font-size:17px ; text-align:justify\">After the announcement, the people of East German rushed to the Wall to seek entry to the West.
