For the most part it was a domino effect after watching Ben Ali's regime fall.

This has been brewing for a while, previous generations didnt have the tools to get everyone out protesting. The big thing was the explosion of the internet and social media. It was just a matter of time before an incident occured that everyone would rally around. In Tunisia it was an educated young fruit seller who lit himself on fire. In Egypt it was the events in Tunisia and Khaled Said's brutal beating to death after filming corrupt cops dealing drugs. Libyans saw the success on either side of them and realized the impossible was possible.
