The protests associated with the Arab Spring began primarily because people thought that their leaders should be held accountable for their actions. Many citizens expressed deep dissatisfaction with authoritarian regimes, corruption, and the lack of political freedoms. Economic issues, such as high unemployment and rising food prices, also fueled discontent, but the underlying demand for democratic governance and accountability was a crucial catalyst for the widespread protests across numerous Arab countries beginning in late 2010.
