TUNISIA - Tunisia’s uprising is not over. On a regular basis, demonstrators rally in Sidi Bouzid, where the Tunisian revolution started. The protesters are frustrated with the slow pace of economic change in the country.
In Sidi Bouzid, protesters often meet to rally in front of the town hall. In December 2010, the young street vendor Mohammed Bouazizi burned himself to death at this very spot. His death sparked mass protests across Tunisia, the ouster of the country's longtime dictator President Zine al-Abidine Ben Ali and eventually, uprisings throughout the Arab world.
