Tunisia: A New Beginning...or Merely a New Leader?

The uprising in Tunisia in January 2011 caused a chain reaction of collective political violence that inspired the Arab world. Tunisia is the northernmost country in Africa and is called the most European country in North Africa with a relatively large middle class and a luxurious Mediterranean beach. On January 14, 2011, Tunisia was governed by President Zine Abidin Ben Ali's dictatorship in Saudi Arabia for 23 years before exile. Civilians in Tunisia accepted Ben Ali's authoritarian regime and were economically, socially and politically suppressed.

Tunisia is a combination of old and new Tunisia vacation. There are quality beaches and wonderful resorts going back to the oasis of the desert that roams the ruins of Phoenicia and the tribe of camels and nomads. The country was influenced by Romans, Arabs, and Ottoman Turks, after which France became a French colony for 75 years. Nearby there is one of the greatest archaeological wonders, Carthage, especially the Roman Empire and its amphitheater and church have been affected a lot. Located in the cape, views of the Mediterranean Sea and the beautiful promenade can be seen. There is a castle wall near Sidi Bou Said and you can enjoy beach and entertainment.

Between the destruction of the ancient Cartago and the conquest of the Arab in the 7th century, many cultures made Tunisia their hometown. Carthage enjoyed a new era of prosperity under the rule of the Roman Empire until the collapse of the 5th century. The destroyers simplified Roman rule and made Cartago the capital of their kingdoms. Then Carthagin was temporarily absorbed by the Byzantine Empire until the 7th century Muslim rise. In 1987, Zi ne El Abidine Ben Ali (Ben Ali) quietly replaced Burghiba. His misbehavior was based on his excuse that he was unable to carry out his mission as president as he was in a bad mind condition due to his extreme age. Nevertheless, Burghiba is still known for the birth of a modern Tunisian country where he has been fighting for his life.
