Tunisia’s Challenges October 30th , 2012
By many measure, Tunisia has the best chance among the Arab Spring countries to transition to democracy. It is a moderate Islamist-led state with close ties to the West. Nearly two years after deposing one of the region’s most repressive autocrats, Zine el-Abidine Ben Ali, Tunisians are deep into the crucial task of writing a postrevolutionary Constitution

One step forward 2 steps back for Tunisia
Last week, Human Rights Watch said it had documented a series of attacks by radical religious groups against political activists, which the authorities had failed to investigate. The organisation also expressed concern that a draft law prohibiting Ben Ali-era government officials from seeking office was too restrictive and would not advance "inclusive democracy".The government is reversing progress on human rights in Tunisia following last year's Arab Spring revolution, Amnesty International has warned.

Outrage as Tunisia woman raped by police
TUNISIAN civil society groups have expressed outrage after a young woman was accused of indecency by two policemen jailed for raping her, amid criticism of the Islamist-led government for rolling back women's rights.Two policemen then raped her, while the third held the handcuffed fiance.
The NGOs, which include the Tunisian Association of Democratic Women and the Tunisian League of Human Rights, slammed what they described as a procedure that "transforms the victim into the accused."
It "is designed to frighten, and to force her and her fiance to waive their rights," they added.
They also questioned "the seriousness of the government's commitment to applying the national plan to combat violence against women breaking-news/world/outrage-as-tunisian-woman-raped-by-police/story-e6frfkui-1226482199500#ixzz27fqJ3tbd

the nation hit milestones for women last year when it adopted a gender-parity law that required equal participation in constituent assembly elections.
Tunisia later lifted reservations to the UN Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women â?? a sort of bill rights for women that Tunisia, like other Arab states, previously failed to adopt in full.
Despite these reforms, last month women rallied in the streets against what they believe is a threat to their status â?? a change in the draft of the nation's new constitution that would deem women "complementary to men." The leading Islamist Ennahda party vowed to uphold women's rights and not enforce hardline Islamic laws, but activists are skeptical.

New Constitution Against Women
Marzouki wants to rediscover his image as an activist and a man of principle, said Neziha Rejiba, an activist who left the Congress for the Republic out of disgust with Marzouki’s alliance with the Islamists. ‘‘But it is too late for him, he’s played his cards and Ennahda has truly buried him.’’
The other area expected to come under serious debate will be the balance between freedom of expression and respect for religion.
While freedom of expression is enshrined in the draft constitution, Article 3, along with others, criminalizes ‘‘attacks on the sacred

Tunisia: UN Must Act Decisively to Uphold the Rule of Law
When 26-year old Tunisian street vendor Mohamed Bouazizi incinerated himself on December 17, 2010, his act resonated across an entire region and sparked what is known as the Arab Spring. His cry echoed across the world because it was a universal call for justice, basic fairness, and equal treatment. Indeed, it was a call for the rule of law.
Nearly two years later, the United Nations has a unique opportunity to answer that call when the UN General Assembly holds a high level meeting on the rule of law this September. The UN member states are in a position to hold a serious discussion on how to advance the rule of law through the creation of tools and fora where real engagement can occur. Convened against a backdrop of the paralysis of the UN Security Council over the bloodbath in Syria and political transitions in the Middle East and elsewhere, few topics are of more pressing concern to the international community.

Tunisia: Organisers of August 13 March Determined to Demonstrate in Habib Bourguiba Avenue
Walk Proud Tunisian Woman
Tunis — Chairwoman of Tunisian Democratic Women Association Ahlem Belhadj asserted, on Friday, the attachment of the civil society’s components to demonstrate in Habib Bourguiba Avenue on the celebration of the 56th anniversary of the promulgation of the personal status code, rejecting categorically the article 28 of the draft of the new Constitution.
“Dialogue continues with the Interior Ministry to have the authorisation to demonstrate in the Habib Bourguiba Avenue”, she said during a meeting with the press held, jointly, with the Chairwoman of the Association of Tunisian women for Research and Development (AFTURD) Radhia Dridi and President of the Tunisian Human Rights Defence League (LTDH) Abdessattar Ben Moussa.
The Interior Ministry, she noted, justified its decision providing for banning demonstrations in Habib Bourguiba Avenue on August 13, by “its incapacity to guarantee the required security to this march”, given the great affluence on this avenue during the month of Ramadan.
“The regulation by the Interior Ministry of the demonstrations comes to confirm its adoption of the same former regime practices,” said, in turn, LTDH President, warning against the confiscation of freedom in case of adoption of the draft of the new Constitution published by the media.”
Radhia Dridi voiced fear to see women’s situation regress, estimating that “democracy could not be achieved without the guarantee of human rights and dignity and consecrate equality of gender.”

"It stands for Yemen, Egypt, Tunisia, Libya, Syria, for all that happened in the Arab Spring," said juror Koyo Kouoh. "But it shows a private, intimate side of what went on, and it shows the role that women played, not only as caregivers, but as active people in the movement."

MUST SEE LONDON RIVER FILMLondonRiverdownloawds_embeds.html
Directed by three time Academy-Award nominated, Franco-Algerian director Rachid Bouchareb, is set against the backdrop of the July 7th 2005 terrorist attacks. The film follows Elisabeth (BAFTA winner, Academy Award® nominee Brenda Blethyn) as she travels from her small farming community to London in the aftermath of the bombings after failing to hear from her daughter. Elisabeth is disturbed by the predominantly Muslim neighborhood where her daughter lived. Her fear and prejudice escalate when she discovers that her daughter was converting to Islam and as she keeps crossing paths with Ousmane (Berlin's Silver Bear winner, Sotigui Kouyaté), a West African who has come from France to find his missing son. Although they come from very different backgrounds, Elizabeth and Ousmane share the same hope of finding their children alive. Putting aside their cultural differences, they give each other the strength to continue the search and maintain their faith in humanity.
The film will be released theatrically in New York Citystarting Wednesday December 7th, 2011 at Cinema Village followed by the Los Angeles opening at Laemmle’s Royal Theatre on December 16th.

Monsieur Mustapha B.J., We Fear for our Achievements, help us
Wednesday, November 2nd; In the 2nd floor of the Tunis Stock Exchange Hall, Mustapha Ben Jaafar, surrounded by his staff, was about to take leave of its hosts at the end of a meeting with the President of scholarship and his staff when a lady calls him: "Monsieur Mustapha, we fear for our achievements, help us". The pattern of Ettakattol response: "don't worry, we are very vigilant." This almost incongruous inquiry in this space is the cry of the heart of a Tunisian who is evil to his Tunisia, who suffers from seeing old acquired fifty delivered in the name of Islam. This case is not isolated. Millions of Tunisians, women and men share their indignation, concern and are committed to the obscurantist dam. And say that it is politicians to seek the legalization of their party "as long as they do disrupt not public order!", while at the same time, these groups increasing verbal and sometimes physical attacks on women in university classrooms and appropriate separation between the sexes in University restaurants and even in the queues as in the October 23 poll.

Tunisian women's image and reputation remain shining and leading,given the historical gains since the Independence of Tunisia
AWO presidency to pass over to Algeria next March The Foreign Ministry reported on Friday that the presidency of the Arab Women Organisation (AWO), which will be transferred, under regulations in force, from Tunisia to Sudan will be assumed by Algeria. The Tunisian Minister of Women will transfer AWO presidency to her Algerian counterpart next March. According to an informed source, Leila Trabelsi, wife of the ousted president thought it had received, during her presidency of the Organisation, the approval of wives of Arab first ladies on the occasion of the AWO's 3rd Congress held last October in Tunis. This was not possible given the poor participation of high-level delegations (only six Arab first ladies). Tunisian women's image and reputation remain shining and leading, given the historical gains made for them since Independence, thanks first and foremost to the Personal Status Code, said essentially the source, in response to a question on the current opinion of Arab states on Tunisian women.

Three days mourning the victims of the Freedom Revolution of Tunisia or Jasmine Revolution
Tunisia will pay compensation to the families of victims of human rights abuse under its ousted authoritarian leader and will send envoys to other Arab states to pursue him, its prime minister said on Friday. Anti-government protesters again took to the streets as Tunisia began three days of mourning for the dozens of people killed during president Zine al-Abidine Ben Ali's overthrow. The interim government, which took over after Ben Ali fled to Saudi Arabia last week in the face of widespread popular unrest, has faced continued protests by crowds angry that members of the old guard are still in the cabinet. Mohamed Ghannouchi, Ben Ali's prime minister who has remained in office to lead an interim coalition cabinet, made an effort to distance himself from the ousted president in an emotional television interview. "I lived like Tunisians and I feared like Tunisians," he said. He promised compensation for the families of victims of human rights abuses, and said envoys to Arab capitals would make the case that Ben Ali should be tracked down

Being a strain of jasmine, "Arabian Jasmine"
The tree releases a nice and pleasant smell especially in the evening.
This variety of jasmine is only found in Tunisia and has a special shape and smell.
Arabian machmoum plays an important role socially
Stratifying the granules of the "Arabian jasmine" tree to form the so-called "machmoum" (bouquet) is one of the traditional crafts in Tunisia.
The flower holds a significant role in weddings and is used in the psychological preparation of both the bride and the groom the day of their wedding.
Tunisian "Arabian jasmine" is a distinctive hallmark as far as the cultivation of Tunisian plants and the manufacture of perfumes at home and abroad are considered.Generations of young men and women inherited the prevailing belief that "the Arabian jasmine machmoum" is a symbol of manhood.
