Mohamed Bouazizi
Mohamed Bouazizi was a Tunisian street vendor whose act of self-immolation in December 2010 sparked the Arab Spring, a series of anti-government protests across the Arab world. His tragic protest against police harassment and corruption highlighted the struggles faced by many in Tunisia and across North Africa, leading to widespread demonstrations that ultimately contributed to the ousting of long-standing regimes and a call for political reform and social justice.
