The Jasmine Revolution refers to the series of protests and demonstrations that took place in Tunisia in late 2010 and early 2011, which led to the overthrow of long-time President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali.
The protests were sparked by the self-immolation of a young street vendor named Mohamed Bouazizi on December 17, 2010, who set himself on fire in protest against police harassment and confiscation of his goods. Bouazizi's act of desperation became a symbol of the frustration and anger felt by many Tunisians at the time
