PART 1 )
Tunisia, Libya and Egypt -> showing the brutality of the Arab world to the outside world ....
TUNISIA :
Leader = Ben Ali
Mohamed Bouazizi -> Tunisias Martyr:
Fruit seller who didnt have enough money for bribes and his complaints were not listened to therefore he commited suicide by setting fire to himself.
Bouazizi's suicide led to peacefull protests which later led to a street war
Tunisia's state TV reported nothing that was happening
Dictatorship under Ben Ali = > the press was censored , police arrested those who filmed however some filmed secretly
There were over 2 million FB users in Tunisia =-> Fb was not censored as it was seen as recreational
Tunisia also used blogging / online streaming
90% of people used internet on phones
25% used broadcasting coverage
They used FB to tell people the areas of where police were to therefore avoid them and reach to the demonstrations through another route
The Videos went Viral -> copycat theory -> others started to simmilarily record events
(Al Zazeera TV) -> National Arab TV Broadcasted some of the UGC that was recorded
Conclusion ...( SOCIAL NETWORKING SPEEDS UP SOCIAL CHANGE)
EGYPT :
Leader = Hosni Mubarak
Khaled Mohamed Saeed --> Egypts Martyr
Brutally beated because he exposed the corruption of the police
Blogs in Egypt are not censored -> as the goverment didnt fear the internet
Activists and Jounralists used blogs to find out more about revolutions
Activists used FB to set a date for protests
People couldnt talk directly to others about the revolution but indirectly spoke over phone so that others would hear and spread it through the word of mouth
They tricked the police on FB by saying that they would meet up in different areas to distribute the police away from the main area for the protest
Around 200,000 Egyptians took over Tahrir Square and burnt down the goverment building
Egypt then switched off all networks , all phones and internet went off
This led to millions going out on streets to see what was happening which led to the gathering of protestors
Mubarak used technology to try and appeal and gain peace and respect but no one listened
America were giving around 1.3 billion $ to help keep order
Mubarak was loosing support from Obama, The Army and his people
Mubarak had no other option but to resign
REVOLUTION BY THE DETERMINATION OF THE PEOPLE
