| - To mark the 10th anniversary of the Arab Spring, AFP is publishing a series of in-depth stories on the wave of popular uprisings across the Middle East and North Africa which changed the political landscape. In this third part, we focus on the legacy of the revolts -- if Western governments are accused of having failed to seize the moment to support the cries for freedom, the Gulf took the initiative to establish itself as the Middle East's new centre of gravity. Tunisia emerged with a fragile democracy, but without meeting demands for a better life, and in Egypt or Syria, the hope that manifested itself in street protests has been crushed with thousands in jail. In Canada where she went to live after the death of her brother, Mohamed, which first triggered the Arab Spring uprisings, Leila Bouazizi urges Tunisians to keep up the fight for their rights. The first instalment on November 23 examined the demands for freedom and democracy which spread across the region, toppling dictators and leaving chaos and war in some countries. In the second part, published on November 30, we focused on the way in which the revolts spread at the speed of the internet, as the first smartphone revolution. All the stories in this series are accompanied by fresh and archive photos, graphics and video from some of the Arab Spring's most iconic datelines. Today, we are offering the following: + Arab Spring: How the West missed a date with history + Gulf monarchies rising from ashes of Arab Spring + 'Keep up the fight', urges Tunisian street vendor's sister + Decade after Arab Spring, thousands languish in jail + Arab uprisings breathe life into independence-era flags Arab-revolution-anniversary-diplomacy,SPECIAL REPORT PARIS Ten years ago, as protests flared across the Arab world, Western governments failed to meet a date with destiny and help nurture dreams of democracy, missing an unprecedented chance to shape real reform. 2,500 words by Didier Lauras, with Cecile Feuillatre in Paris and Farid Farid in Cairo.
