Tunesia

Hello everybody,

The next country I’ve visited is Tunisia, Tunisia is known for its grand tourism, they say that it’s the most European country of North Africa. But there are also negative points in Tunisia, for example: there is much poverty and a high degree of unemployment, corruption is also unavoidable there.

Today, there are many political changes in Tunisia. The people of Tunisia must elect a new president because president Ben Ali has left the country. Why the president has left the country is because the people protested against his course of action. He dictated all the people and they must all listen to him. The riots have caused many injuries and deaths so there was a lot more panic in Tunisia and all the tourists must left the country.
It’s an enormous challenge for Tunisia to rebuild the political system with all those riots, the country may even fall into a anarchy.
The Tunisian revolution has started in December 2010 because a man had committed suicide because there are no good prospects for Tunisia and the poverty level continues to rise.
So everyone was in revolt, especially those who has just graduated and they were immediately unemployed.

So Tunisia has to do something quickly because the protests should stop.

My opinion is that it’s the fault of the ex-president Ben Ali. Because he handled in a way that was the best for him and not for the country. He only took account of himself and commanded everyone.
I think they must follow the presidents strictly and the presidents cannot take decisions by themselves, they must consult with other persons. The people who live in Tunisia are right to protest, the president must take into account with his people.

So it was not a funny journey through Tunisia with all those with all the protest, but I’m glad I’ve learned something about the politics of Tunisia. I hope it’s more fun in Italy…
I see you there.
