The Jasmine Revolution in Tunisia is being driven by flesh and blood and conditions on the ground.
Year: 2011
Ben Ali’s RCD party keeps significant presence in cabinet
The new Tunisian coalition government has been announced with no change in key portfolios. No reason whatsoever should the revolution stop now. It has to proceed with full steam. Occupy the factories, take control of the land, do not disband the Popular Committees that are guarding the neighborhoods. And do not trust the army.
Domino Effect: Neoliberalism on the retreat
The Arab regimes, fearing the replication of the Tunisian intifada in their own countries, are either slowing down or putting on hold their neo-liberal reforms.
