> Subject: [governance] From Free Tunisia
>
> 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.
>
> From the free Tunisia
