[governance] From Free Tunisia

[Jean-Louis FULLSACK]

Merci Khaled

pour ton témoignage et tous les encouragements et mes voeux à la "jeune Tunisie lbre".

J'ai particulièrement apprécié le spot sur le Sommet du SMSI de Tunis (novembre 2005) qui doit rappeler quelques souvenirs à la société civile engagée au SMSI, celle qui a accepté "d'y être" et celle qui a refusé (comme mon assoc CSDPTT).

Nous sommes tous de coeur avec vous les artisans de la liberté.

> All,
> For those who don't know Tunisia : Tunisia is a Small country, great 
> nation. First Arab country that abolished slavery in 1848. First Arab 
> country to establish a constitution in 1861. First Arab country to 
> abolish polygamy in 1956. First Arab country to legalize abortion in 
> 1973. Tunisia is the first Arab country to kick out its dictator and 
> this without the help of any foreign nation!
> Today Tunisia has reached a critical and important point in its history 
> after succeeding in its revolution. President Ben Ali has left the 
> country, and government has collapsed leaving the country in an 
> unpredictable situation.
> A new “Coalition Government” has been announced bringing old dissidents 
> and Human Rights activists in team with a main focus of preparing a 
> democratic transition.
> Friday January 14th 2011, ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FeLT2PEmnDI ) 
> I have been inside the huge protestants in front of the ministry of 
> Interior and I witnessed brave people asking clearly their dictator to 
> leave.
> Since then Tunisian retrieved their freedom lost many years and began 
> interesting politics.
> Young people went on the street asking for more n and more social change 
> without being politically coached.
> I have witnessed, and have been part, of the strength of the "real" 
> Tunisian Internet community to use Internet and Web 2.0 ( Blogs, Video, 
> Facebook, Twitter, … ) to support the revolution and everyday’s riots 
> showing to the world what’s happening due to a lack of official local 
> media coverage.
> My life has been different during these days : my house is in a hot 
> spot; near El Aouina Army Casern and just between the Airport and the US 
> Embassy. So I took my wife to her father house, and I stayed alone 
> during 5 days. Everything was different each day; night riots with fire 
> shooting between protestants and police during the first 2 days , near 
> helicopter surveillance between army and snipers belonging to Ben Ali 
> Presidential militia during the last 3days.
> I have never felt the importance of the security before that. It was the 
> same feeling that had the Tunisian people which led them to go out and 
> organize “Population committees” in each city to protect each city from 
> Ben Ali militia.
> Tunisian Internet community is free today and will show to the world 
> what we are capable to accomplish.
> 
> Vive Internet and thank you Vint and Internet pioneers to gave us this 
> wonderful tool that helped our revolution.
