Topic: Tunisian Constitutional Convention

After 23 years of single party rule in Tunisia, Prime Minister Zine El Abidine Ben Ali, better known as just Ben Ali, has finally been deposed after a month of rioting in what is now known as the Revolution of Dignity. These riots, sparked by the self-immolation of an economically struggling young street vendor named Mohamed Bouazizi from Sidi Bouzid in late 2010, sparked the Arab Spring, a series of mass protests, uprisings, and rebellions across the Arab World in response to economic downturn and government repression. On the tail end of political instability, delegates have been chosen by the Tunisan people to give Tunisia a strong constitution, but finding a compromise between newly created parties won’t be easy, with whether Tunisia will have a parliamentary or semi-presidential system, freedom of religion and conciseness, and gender equality, are all top concerns for the country during these trying times. 

More information will be released in the coming months!
