The Jasmine Revolution refers to the popular uprising in Tunisia that began in December 2010, leading to the ousting of President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali. It was sparked by widespread discontent over high unemployment, government corruption, and lack of political freedoms, following the self-immolation of Mohamed Bouazizi, a street vendor protesting police harassment. The movement is named after the jasmine flower, a symbol of peace and resistance in Tunisia. This revolution inspired a series of similar protests across the Arab world, known as the Arab Spring.
