In December 2010, a Tunisian fruit vendor, Mohamed Bouazizi, set himself on fire in protest of what he considered unfair treatment from his government. And so began the Arab Spring, a movement that has swept the Middle East and captured the world’s attention.

Almost two years later, the struggle continues, with Syrian rebels bringing the fight to the streets of Damascus. From Tripoli to Tahrir Sqaure to Homs, GlobalPost takes you back to some of the memorable moments of the Arab world’s fight for freedom.
