At its height, the demonstrations attracted more than 8 million protestors across Emmiria, largely in heavily populated areas like Rhaga, Kuye, and Hazarabad. The demonstrations lasted in varying degrees of severity until 2011, largely subsiding with the election of Khayahad al-Azari, who had run on a platform of liberalization and reform.
