Tunisia: from paradise to hell and back? 1

Tunisia: from paradise to hell and back?

Miriam Gazzah reflects on the current situation in Tunisia. Work and freedom of speech and expression, that is all that Tunisian youth want. It is a simple request. Based upon her own impressions and those of her father Gazzah makes clear that these wishes are not easily achieved for a country where more than half of the population consists of people under 25 years old. Tunisia’s new government will hopefully find a way to give new impulses to the economy, with help of Europe and the United States. But most importantly: tourists must come back to Tunisia as soon as possible.
