There's the Tunisian revolution which worked for a while but they seem to be backsliding now too.

But yeah, more an exception to the rule as every other Arab state that had a revolution recently, turned into a dictatorship or failed state.

jan 6 was because a lot of the military was on that side.

Getting the military on your side is sort of necessary for a successful revolution. Look at the Bolsheviks, the October revolution relied on them getting a good chunk of the rank and file of the military on there side with the promise of getting a peace deal so they don't have to go back to the front lines to get mowed down by german machine guns.
