Where is post-revolution Tunisia heading?
Five years after their popular uprising, Tunisians remain divided about their country’s future.
It has been five years since the beginning of Tunisia’s revolution, a popular uprising that has been credited with setting off a wave of protests across north Africa and the Middle East. Many now see it as the only success of the so-called Arab Spring.
Tunisia has a new constitution and free elections and has become a model of democratic progress.
But there are worries about a growing number of attacks and the government’s response to them, as well as a lack of jobs for young people.
So, where is post-revolution Tunisia heading?
