The Arab Spring is the most common answer to the question, but the Arab Spring didn't serve to build anything. It did a good job of tearing down oppressive regimes, but it failed to build anything because there was no guiding force.

Without leaders, who are the powers that be going to negotiate with? Who gets invited to sit-downs at the White House or governor's mansion?
