The Tunisian revolution is ten years old.
On December 17, 2010, the immolation of Mohamed Bouazizi in Sidi Bouzid, then the voluntary electrocution five days later of another young person from the region, Houcine Neji, were the triggers of what we will call the Tunisian revolution which ousted Ben Ali from power on January 14, 2011. Alaa Talbi, originally from the region and director of the Tunisian Forum of Economic and Social Rights, answers questions from our correspondent in Tunis, Michel Picard.
