Mohamed Bouazizi | MCQs

Explanation

Mohamed Bouazizi, a 26-year-old fruit seller, set himself on fire on December 17, 2010, in Sidi Bouzid, Tunisia.

He did this to protest the confiscation of his wares and the humiliation he suffered at the hands of local authorities.

His act of desperation sparked widespread protests and demonstrations in Tunisia.

These protests eventually led to the ousting of President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali on January 14, 2011.
