Revision as of 22:54, 12 November 2014

The Arab Winter is a term for the wide-scale violence and instability evolving in the aftermath of the Arab Spring protests in Arab League countries. The Arab Winter is referring to the events across the Arab World, including the Syrian Civil War, the Iraqi insurgency, the Egyptian Crisis, and instability in Yemen. Political developments, particularly the restoration of authoritarianism and suppression of civil liberties, in Egypt since 3 July 2013 have been described as constituting a "military winter" functioning in opposition to the goals of the Arab Spring. The arenas of Lebanon, Libya and Bahrain were also described as minor arenas of the Arab Winter. Libya was put as a scene of the Arab Winter, together with Syria by Prof. Sean Yom.

The Arab Winter is characterized by the emergence of multiple regional civil wars, mounting regional instability, economic and demographic decline of Arab countries, and ethno-religious sectarian strife. As of summer 2014, the Arab Winter has produced about a quarter of a million deaths and millions of refugees.

According to the Moshe Dayan Center for Middle Eastern and African Studies, as of January 2014, the cost of Arab Winter upheaval across the Arab World is some 800 billion USD. Some 16 million people in Syria, Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, and Turkey are expected to require humanitarian assistance in 2014.
