Tarek el-Tayeb Mohamed Bouazizi (Tunisian Arabic:محمد البوعزيزي; 29 March 1984 – 4 January 2011) was a Tunisian street vendor who set himself on fire on 17 December 2010, in protest of the confiscation of his wares and the harassment and humiliation that he reported was inflicted on him by a municipal official and her aides. His act became a catalyst for the Tunisian Revolution and the wider Arab Spring, inciting demonstrations and riots throughout Tunisia in protest of social and political issues in the country. The public's anger and violence intensified following Bouazizi's death, leading then-President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali to step down on 14 January 2011, after 23 years in power.
The success of the Tunisian protests inspired protests in several other Arab countries, plus several non-Arab countries. The protests included several men who emulated Bouazizi's act of self-immolation, in an attempt to bring an end to their own autocratic governments. Those men and Bouazizi were hailed by Arab commentators as "heroic martyrs of a new Middle Eastern revolution".
Remembering Mohamed Bouazizi: The man who sparked the Arab Spring
Exactly 10 years ago, a fruit seller in Tunisia set himself on fire to protest against state corruption.
His fatal act eventually toppled President Zine Abidine Ben Ali and sparked similar uprisings across the region that became known as the Arab Spring.
But a decade later, many in Tunisia say they are worse off than before.
