...we looked for peace, and there is no good;
and for the time of healing, and behold trouble!
Jeremiah 14:19
In the Ukraine
It seems to have started over the government wanting to have a trade deal with their former rulers-Russia-rather than with Europe. The people favor Europe. A tipping point seems to have been when the leader of the country allowed the military to use snipers in relation to the crowds of protesters. He has since been impeached and forced to flee the capitol. What's next for the Ukraine?
In Venezuela
It seems to be over the state of the economy under the socialist successor of the infamous Hugo Chavez. His successor won a 50-50 election considered by many to be filled with voter fraud by the government. Since then, the nation has spiraled into high inflation & other problems, including having a hard time producing even enough toilet paper....
In Thailand
It seems to be over corruption by the country's leader. She apparently has been involved in some major scandal involving rice. 
In Turkey
Protests are over new internet regulations, the government giving itself authority to block websites without court orders.
In Spain
Protesters clashed with police near the capitol over the new laws that fine protesters.

And who can forget the recent protests that swept the middle east promising an "Arab Spring" (which turned out in many cases to become an "Islamic Jihadist Winter"). Or the protests last year in Brazil or more recently the massive protests in France over gay marriage. And of course in America from the Occupy movement (anti-big business) to the Tea Party rallies (anti-big government).
