    Artical Name : Vision from Within Artical Subject : Where is Tunisia Heading? Publish Date: 21/01/2018 Auther Name: Kamal Ben Younis Subject : Tunisian authorities managed to deal with the protests, which erupted in a number of cities and poor neighborhoods in the capital, after ³government announced an increase in value-added tax and social contributions in the budget.´However, the calm situation may be temporary if the authorities do not succeed in finding radical solutions to the problems, which angered youths. Those youth for seven years now have been threatening of a ³new revolution´that topples the new political elite whom they accuse of failing to achieve the main goals of their revolution which developed in January 2011.So where is Tunisia heading seven years after President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali was toppled? Will the parties which triggered these new confrontations with the security forces succeed in launching what they call ³a second revolution´"Or will the opposite happen? Will the current political regime witness any substantial changes especially that it has been internationally supported for several reasons including that many western countries bet on the success of the ³Tunisian exception in transitioning towards democracy?´Separation from YouthsSome of those who oppose the government, mainly the opposition leaders of leftist, nationalist and Baathist groups that are involved in the Popular Front, which is led by Hamma Hammami and Ziad Lakhdhar, think that the increased protests against the governments, which have governed since January 2011, is proof that they cannot achieve the revolution¶s aims regarding jobs, dignity. That is because the government cannot liberate its measures from the International Monetary Fund¶s directions and from the agendas of financial lobbies that are involved in corruption, trafficking and imposing a capitalist policy.

  • I'm in 'Spotlight', but It's Not Really About Me. It's About the Power Of
    Style I’m in ‘Spotlight’, but it’s not really about me. It’s about the power of journalism. Oscars 2016: Red carpet fashion “You're damn right Hollywood is racist. Hollywood is sorority racist. It’s like, ‘We like you, Rhonda, but you’re not a Kappa.’” Chris Rock during his Oscars monologue By Martin Baron February 24 Martin Baron, then-editor of the Boston Globe, toasts reporters after the newspaper was honored as a recipient of a Pulitzer Prize on April 7, 2003. The Globe was awarded a Pulitzer for public service for its coverage of the church abuse scandal that rocked the Boston archdiocese. (Charles Krupa/Associated Press) Most years I try to stay attentive, or at least awake, through the Academy Awards. Most years I fail. On Sunday, however, fatigue has an overwhelming counterweight — obvious self-interest. Plus, I will be sitting inside the Dolby Theatre. “Spotlight” brought to the big screen the first six months of a Boston Globe investigation that in 2002 revealed a decades-long coverup of serial sexual abuse by priests within the Boston Archdiocese. Liev Schreiber portrays me as the newly arrived top editor who launched that investigation, and his depiction has me as a stoic, humorless, somewhat dour character that many professional colleagues instantly recognize (“He nailed you”) and that my closest friends find not entirely familiar. The scandal disclosed by the Globe’s Spotlight investigative team ultimately took on worldwide dimensions. Fourteen years later, the Catholic Church continues to answer for how it concealed grave wrongdoing on a massive scale and for the adequacy of its reforms, as it should.

Perhaps it is too early to talk of anything .a..prs-Bourquiba. At one of the Patti Socialiste Destourien congresses the now deposed leader once remarked that he would continue to leave his mark on the country for centuries after his departure. The remark was vintage Bourguiba: an extravagantly hyperbolic statement that hinted at his loss of political acumen, but with an undercurrent of truth no one could, deny. The bronze statue at the Place d:Afrique still stands; the marble bust in the garden of the music academy on Rue de France has not been removed. Everywhere one travels throughout the country there is still the omnipresent Avenue Bourguiba. But the planned Cite Bourguiba and the proected new mausoleum for the Supreme Commander have been shelved without much fanfare. The unavoidable daily pictures in La Presse and the five minute reruns of his old speeches have disappeared.
