A fallen Nation.

Tunisia was in a state of turmoil when the prime minister Zine El Abiidine Ben Ali fled due to public protest after a rein of about 23yrs. The protest was carried out due to major distress amongst the citizens! The protest led to citizens shouting slogans on the streets carrying placards and throwing dummy bombs. Lawyers were in the forefront of this mass revolution. Amidst gun battles and bombs one could hear cries of pain,sorrow and loss. The Tunis military attempt to root out armed civilians were all in vain creating even more chaos on the streets! The military was said to be attempting to corner about 3,000 to 6000 Ben Ali’s well armed Presidential Guards still running free. Local offices,buildings,hotels have all been locked up and a no-holds barred battle had been declared on the militia.


In India a similar revolution had brought about its independence almost 60yrs back. Public protest, disagreement etc had put the country to a major war for the love of land and rein. A revolution like this is inevitable in the future and a public protest can overthrow a tyrannical government, of this Tunisia is an iconic example.
