The Tunisian uprising of January 2011 started a chain reaction of collective political violence that inflamed the Arab world. Tunisia is the northernmost country in Africa, it was commonly known as the most European country in North Africa, with a relatively large middle class and luxurious Mediterranean beaches. Tunisia was dominated by the authoritarian rule of President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali for twenty-three years before his exile to Saudi Arabia on January 14, 2011. Tunisian civilians tolerated Ben Ali's authoritarian regime which repressed them economically, socially and politically . Tunisians believed that the Jasmine Revolution would lead the nation to a new beginning, surrounded by a government that would guarantee previously deprived civil liberties. Currently, Tunisia's future remains uncertain. To predict whether the historic uprising will lead to a new beginning or simply a new leader, it is necessary to study many aspects of the country, such as Tunisia's history, the factors that started the protests, and the developments that took place after the end of the conflict. revolution. First, Tunisia's history must be reviewed to fully understand the current state of the nation. Taoufik Djebali observes: “For historical and geographical reasons, Tunisia appears to be the most ethnically homogeneous country in the Maghreb.” (Djebali, 2005:152) Most modern Tunisians are considered Arab-Berber and speak Tunisian Arabic. In 1987, Ben Ali became Tunisia's second president, securing the position in a constitutional coup against eighty-four-year-old Habib Bourguiba. Ironically, Ben Ali's coup was intended to lead to a more democratic nation. Larbi Sadiki noted: “It can be said that the man… at the center of the card… Tunisia as a whole; it indirectly generated what is now historically known as the Arab Spring. In conclusion, I believe that the Jasmine Revolution will lead Tunisia to become a successful and democratic Arab nation. Bibliography Marzouki, Moncez. 2011. Spring: the new student rebellions.
