This type of moves to by citizens to save their countries from economic, social and moral decay is commendable and historic as they will be used as future reference by the next generation of leaders and even the citizens to learn from, because power indeed belongs to the people but their are countries where the citizens are actually sleeping as they have allowed the political class to reduce and stole the common wealth of the masses with corrupt politicians and leaders being celebrated and the citizens who has the power to effect change on the leadership of the country sleeping

Actually, it is the other way around. A living person is identified by a lower case "i". How do we know? The 'i' still has its dot (head) on it.

But an upper case "I" has lost the dot on it. It has been 'capitalized', meaning not normal (dead).

The people of a nation are like lower case 'i's, still alive, with their heads still on them. An upper case person comes along, working for government, and turns common people into capitalized people by removing their heads.

So, it's governments and others that are out against common people.

I personally believe that the ordinary citizens can not just wake up one day and begin to demand for the resignation or sack of their president. Most of them don't have that kind of audacity, even if they dared to speak out against bad leadership it always falls on deaf ears, most times they're intimidated and locked up. My take is that there's no smoke without fire, meaning that there's always some influential people in the background that will be fueling the uprising.  So in situations like this where the ordinary civilians are put forward to demand for good governance or the sack of a political leader is what the motives of the sponsors are. If the sponsors of a change of regime are doing so for the good of the masses, then the country can be better for it but if it's for selfish reasons then the citizens might go from frying pan to fire.

Any country that can successfully demand for the resignation of a bad president should be applauded for the efforts put in. This is not something that is very common to achieve, it takes oneness and unity from everyone or majority of the citizens to form a combined force capable of eliminating bad governance.

Most countries wouldn't be talking about bad governance all the time if the citizens actually have that power to remove bad presidents. Unfortunately, many of these people who are complaining of bad governance have sold their rights and power to these presidents. The people themselves are corrupt, so they cannot speak up against bad governance, talk less of seeking for his resignation.

That is in a country where the citizens have not been defeated;
Where there is still human rights;
A country where leaders are accountable to citizens;
A country where leaders have the right to vote;
Where leaders don't kill innocent protesters.

"He who cannot be a good follower cannot be a good leader." - Aristotle

In a country that adheres to democracy, most leaders come from ordinary citizens, therefore human rights are above all else.  A revolution ^{(not evolution)} has given birth an great countries. 

God bless the leader who prioritizes the interests of the people, not just his own group and family.
