2. Both cases are youth based movements
3. Twitter hashtags and trends incited curiosity and popularity among people who did not know about it.
KENYA:
1. Both movements were to expose the injustice that was concealed from the world.
2. Ushahidi was the platform used to report the violence.
BBC blog, in Malala's case was used to highlight the situation.
3. Both highlighted the fact that there were very few active civil societies and inactive government that could fix this problem.
4. A social change such as peace walks, documentaries came out in both cases.

2. Facebook and Twitter came on much later, just like Malala's story.
It initially sparked attention in the news.
3.
|
Ghana:
1. It was mainly a political movement while Malala's story was about human rights; education
2. Ghana fought against corruption by it's own people. Malala fought against extremism using education as her weapon.
3. Facebook was used from the initial stages to spread the message. In Malala's story, Facebook caught up later on.
4. Ghana was a country wide movement with citizens from around the country fighting against it. Malala's story was a quiet struggle in her own province. Supporting rallies came much more later and were organized by people not directly affected.
KENYA:
1. Even though both cases involved the situation of violence,
In Malala's story, the violence was known to the world and it was the injustice of rights that was not known. In Kenya, the violence was the one that was concealed.
2. Stopping the violence was the main agenda of the movement.
Malala, even though had the dreams of stopping the violence, her agenda was education.
3. Kenya's case brought about a significant change.
Malala's story, though it has international limelight, has not yet brought the social change.
Zimbabwe:
Egypt
1.It was a protest about low wages that started as a strike
Malala's story was about her fight for education.
2. The fight was against the government and it's strict rule.
Malala's fight was against the Taliban rule.
3. It was the economic situation that was in turmoil.
For Malala's case,it was the humanitarian situation that was at stake.
4. It was a short movement that spread almost immediately due to Facebook and mobile technology. Malala's was a gradual protest.
TUNISIA
1. It was a desperate country wide movement that began with the self immolation by a street vendor called Bouazizi whose rights were violated by the police.
2. It resulted in the end of 23year old regime of the dictator Ben Ali, just 14 days after Bouazizi's death.
3. It was a political as well as humanitarian movement, out to topple the corrupted dictator government.
4. It included violent protests and clashes with the police forces

Ghana:
1. Social media was the strongest communication tool in the movement
2. The drive was to make use of technology, ie, biometric sensors to fight corruption
3. It was a citizen based movement.
KENYA:
1. Involved the used of web 2.0
platform to highlight violence.
2. Many of the rallies of the movement used ICT and social media to organize the events.
Egypt
1. The use of social media was extremely extensive.
In fact the entire activism was planned through social media like Facebook and mobile internet.
TUNISIA
Even though initially the use of media was restricted to broadcast, slowly, as the protests gained momentum, thousands of Tunisians accessed new websites like Twitter and many blogging sites to access and spread information. Facebook was used to spread accurate information about the clashes and alerts about the movements of the police.
These tools were used as distributed truth engines as the local media was not trustworthy. A woman was shot dead because she went out as she trusted the news which said the violence by police had ended.
All this pertains to course material, as to how the social media is gaining popularity to spread the truth even though the broadcast media may deny it.

Ghana:
1. Both cases are very different. The basic similarity is that they fought to expose injustice and unfairness in their country using technology.
2. Another similarity is that the youth were the drivers of the movement.
Egypt
This case is a great example of the use of citizen based protest mobilized solely with the use of social media as the broadcast media is highly censored.
TUNISIA
A success story of how use of social media aided and favored the oppressed and how the government did not manage to censor the content.
