Question

How did the government leaders in Egypt and Tunisia lose their positions?

Answer 1

C. They were overthrown by the military.

Explanation:

Northern Africa has not been in the best of conditions in the past decade or so. Pretty much all countries in the region had big problems of one sort or another. Egypt and Tunisia experienced coups with the assistance of the military forces, Algeria had internal unrest and protests, Libya had a war and expansion of terrorism, while Morocco lost part of its territory which declared itself as independent.

When it comes to Egypt and Tunisia, there were large scale protests by the majority of the populations in these two countries. The people were not satisfied by their governments and their policies and they made it clear that they want them down. This was used by military generals which took the military under their command and using force stripped the government officials from their power and took it for themselves. Instead of making the things better, the military generals started and still do exhibit dictatorship policies, and this leads to continuous unrest.
