political marginality some countries in Gulf Regions like Egypt and Libya
initiated the what they called Arab Spring. It started as silent uprising of the
people in different social media platforms that lead to violent uprising in the
following months. Due to the recent events government of certain country

current presidency. Some of the anti-government support spread false news
that made impact on international audience causing mass confusion an
further inflict alliances amongst nations.
