I graduated in 2010 and left the UK in 2012 just after the Arab Spring to work in Qatar. I've been in the Middle East for 10 years have worked in Qatar, Saudi, and Oman. Inevitably you work with and come across people from the Gulf, the Levant, and North African Arab countries every single day. Before I came out here I had a very one dimensional view on the Arab world. When you live and work here you realise very quickly there is no homogenous Arab world. Other than a common language which isn't even that common given how different the various dialects are, the only thing that I see every Arabic community has in common is a level of love, respect, and hospitality you simply don't see in western countries. The KG Arabic teacher from Egypt with whom I worked with in a school in Qatar would make me breakfast every morning because I was the only young male working in the school. We both knew our salaries were not equal but she didn't care. There's a selflessness and genuine sense of family I've seen from everyone in the Arab world which simply doesn't correlate with the macrosocial problems you see on state levels. It's so sad how the entire region is seen as nothing more than political and religious violence when the reality of the people is as polar opposite as you could imagine. I really hope the people in the Arab world get the leaders they deserve, and not the tyrannical despots who take advantage of power vacuums left over by meddling western imperialists.
Because the new west will not say anything that will tarnish their narrative. "arab spring good" "rebels good" "al nusra good" "these guys bad" (these guys been governments that do not follow America's commands.
@@kokojambo4944 Man, you were brave enough to tell the truth.The US uses social media opinion to incite ignorant young people to overthrow their own government.Then install American puppets and transfer the country's property.
Revolution does not fix issues reforms do. But reforms require everyone to personally sacrifice and change the way they see things and people but people prefer to sacrifice someone else hoping that will bring some change like its pleasing some gods or something.
Big support to Tunisians and hopes for the success of their upcoming second revolution that will hopefully resolve the overlasting problems of this country
Actually, Ennahdha lost in the 2014 legislative elections and presidential elections (to Nidaa Tounes and Beji Caid Essebsi) but in 2019 they lost only the presidency and won the legislative elections (with only 52 seats out of 217).
Biased report and dark narrative. They only focused on the Ennahda mandate (2011-2014) and skipped for some reason Nidaa Tounes (the secularist party) mandate (2014-2019). They head straight to current coservative president and skipped on purpose president Beji Caid Essebsi who was not only secularist but also a feminist. No mention for the revolution's gains: huge poltical rights, political plurality, freedom of media, freedom of expression, right to protest, removal of some sexist laws... How about doing an objective report and show the 2 sides?

@Aymen BEN HENDA the truth is that democracy/ liberalism and economic growth are two different and independent things. liberalism is just an ideology that helps some western men spread their power in the world. economic growth doesn't need democracy.

Sort of random question: that thing about women not normally going to the final burial place during the funeral; is that common throughout Islam, or is it just, like a Tunisian thing? I've never heard of that before.
It's throughout Islam. Mainly because pre-Islamic Arabs would hire women to cry loudly at funerals, so when Islam was introduced, this practice was forbidden. But it also resulted in women being discouraged from attending burials. As far as I'm aware there's nothing in scripture that actually forbids women from attending the burial so maybe as time goes on that will change.
A Funeral in Islam is divided. Men and women are not allowed to mourn in the same location. The funeral is split between men and women. Only men are allowed during the burial because its their duty to bury the deceased. Afterwards, 2 locations are chosen, one where men go to pay their respects for the family of the deceased, while the other one is set for females. Some countries , like the Gulf countries allow for only close family members of the opposite sex to mourn together.
@@MrSir413 no bro , a women can attend a funeral if she can hold herself quit and don't disturb the burying and of course with a headscarf.also she is not allowed to touch the dead person if he's not a relative ( father , brother or husband). by the way i'm sunni too
I found that "To us, 300 people killed is not peaceful" comment a little condescending. I don't care where you're from - Syria, Iraq, Egypt or Libya - no one considers 300 people killed "peaceful".
Look at the death toll of most revolutions throughout history. wink wink french revolution for example. what she meant is that most revolutions have a far greater death toll but that doesn't make the Tunisian revolution with only 300 people killed peaceful, well, because every human life is important .
It's the bad government get rid of the bad government and increased wages get a government that cares for the people cuz it's the people that run the country and they will be okay
We in Algeria and Morocco need to follow Tunisia's example and make strides in abolishing arbitrary rule and lack of popular sovereignty. I feel the Tunisian revolution will not succeed unless the other larger Maghreb countries follow its example and all cooperate as a democratic block. Certain countries outside the region tried to abort the Tunisian revolution and are succeeding to some extent in Libya because North Africa's unity failed to defend its borders with the Middle East. Libya is right now a Middle Eastern offshoot thanks to Hafthar who will turn the country into a second Egypt (politically). The armies of Algeria and Morocco should have scattered Hafthar and snuffed out the possibility of Libya becoming a base from which to dim the democratic transformations taking shape to the west. What is going on in Libya is an emergency for the region that is being practically ignored.
I read in the daily fail that whoever got in after they overthrew was himself overthrown by his defence secretary which I thought was hilarious. Politics and religion shouldn't mix but they always have and always will, same way people will use Christianity as a political tool in America and the UK because whether or not you believe in religion, it still drives alot of people and people use the (real or not real) belief of "God" (/ Allah etc) as justification for their actions ( attitudes towards gays, attitudes towards the West etc) and people's "faith" is why they will act a certain way because they believe whatever their scripture is is canon. The only religion that *should* be in politics though is Buddhism, all the others suck
Those who govern hold the gun to your head With religions, corporations, proud of the blood they've shed Whether it's God or the bomb, it's just the same It's only fear under another name
@@TheEpiCool No? I absolutely disagree with you. Politics and religion are quite separated in civilised countries except for example Saudi Arabia or Poland.
It really feels like Vice interviews the same type of people every country they go. I really don't think the average protestor in either the 2011 revolution or the protests that have happened every now and then were feminists, human rights activists, or dogmatic socialists. The vast majority were normal people that were just angry at the poverty and economic humiliation that they were dealing with and still are now. Instead of interviewing the average Tunisian, they interviewed elite activists who pinned a lot of blame on individuals and groups they could not name, and the rest of the blame on Ennahda, a party that is guilty chiefly because it is their main ideological rival. I have a feeling that the rest of this series is going to give us similarly incomplete pictures.
A "secular" dictator or Islamo-fascist "democracy" seem to be the only two choices for people in MENA region. Whether it's Egypt, Libya, Syria or Tunisia, the liberal opposition is never in a position to make gains from fall of a dictator, perhaps because they're limited to upper classes. Of course, elitism is the Achilles' heel of liberalism everywhere.
These people that talked in this interview do not represent us the street, the hood, next time if you want know what are real problems come to the hood
The problem with time Tunisia is the government takes people for granted and they have to fight back it doesn't care about them because if you did it wouldn't be happening people have to fight back and I don't blame them wages should be better because it's a beautiful country if wages were better people wouldn't be angry people wouldn't be starving people wouldn't be looking for food or money so increase the wages to make it more better for the people and not have a selfish government that doesn't care for the people which he should
It doesn't work we keep electing losers every time we had like 9 governments so far they all did pretty much the same thing they get in they make deals with the rich monopolies running the economy while taking as much money as they can corruption is so deep in the system it can't be fixed.
Change takes time. The oldest democracies are still changing and haven't gotten it completely right because there's always something to improve in a democracy.
One of the problems with these uprisings is there isn’t ever a good replacement. All of the uprisings from the Arab spring brought about someone way worse. There needs to be one leader that not just Nationals get behind, but all Muslims need to get behind, and there needs to be a way to oust these people without causing a situation like we saw in Syria or Libya. There needs to be a plan, not just blind outrage.
Democracy is the rule of the majority which happens to be poor religious people. Every major philosopher [plato, aristotle, socrates ....etc] have spoken against democracy. The west are all fake democracies and they use the ideology to make their people think that they're in control of the government and to fool other nations into dismantling their governments and replace them with a democratic one that can be bought or pressured into doing what the west want.
i mean i really don't know why those politicians add religion to politics, and how people cant get that these political parties want the majority of tunisians to vote and support them using these tricks
Actually we have an old generation they grow up whit dictators presidents that make them have no knowledge in political science and they remove the media to let them think that they have to protect they religion by selecting them and the government put the young people who’s want to change this country to better in prisent before every selection for no reason sometimes to be sure that they going to win and they make them quite the country even by illegal ways like that they can roule the country like they wish .
Why wouldn't there be black Tunisians? Tunisia is in Africa and slavery has been abolished in 1857. could only find a link in french sorry fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pacte_fondamental_de_1857
Ok. Cool report. How does this serve us Tunisians anyway?... It doesn't. If anything, it will make it even more difficult. Showing the terrorism narrative from 7 years ago, isn't going to help us in any way. Nobody other than tunisian themselves really care about Tunisia. I've never understood why some of the tunisian activists love sharing their feelings with foreign media. What is it what we're seeking? Pity? Empathy? ok, and then what? In practice, nobody would watch this video and think "oh I'd really love to spend my holidays in Tunisia". Do we want foreign intervention? Nope. If anything, this serves a really ancient narrative of a region being in crisis and the west would get involved to "save the day". Pathetic
dont be fooled by the arab spring, it bringed nothing than misery in tunisia, im tunisian and live in tunisia and i know what im talkin about, before it was 1000 better, despite what the world think democracy is a bad thing in arab countries
Much love & all support for the Tunisians!♥️🇹🇳. Fight for your country my fellow Tunisians Friends! I support freedom of speech, Freedom of religion, freedom from religion, freedom of choice & LGBTQ+ rights for all Malaysians/Humanity♥️🇲🇾🇹🇳
Because the arabs invaded the region and spread islam so they can centralize their power from the Arabian peninsula. The arabs are no different to the French in tunisia
Vice paints this like it is real revolution. Most people would prefer to return to Ben Ali because the country was more stable and islam was less influential. The attacks in Tunis and sousse wouldn't have happened under ben Ali because extreme islam was stamped out early. The power moved from apparently 1 person and their regime to now the banks and the political theatre
The Arab world is so boring at this point. It doesn't have that intrigue it did even a few years ago. I think most people now are just cringed by it. And clearly there is something wrong with the society as a whole over there, you just can't just blame the rulers like this is some sort of cartoon. Those same rulers are cut from the same cloth as the people. Perhaps try being honest, kind and friendly to each other and maybe, just maybe your situation may improve. I don't even think Vice should be wasting time on stuff like this, it's the same tired story for years and years. They will get a new government and a few years later will begin fighting again. There is something rotten to the core over there, let them figure it out. Quit giving them attention though, it just fuels their insanity.
@@brikifarah3271 I'm fine, thanks for asking! I hope you try to understand that I'm not here to bash the Arab world, there was a time when I was actually sympathetic to their plight. As I got older I came to see that the vast majority of their problems are their own doing. And I think you answered the question on why that region is so messed, because people hurt each other a lot over there, and this most likely stems from the family/parenting.
This Vice interview gave me hope . I was waiting for the" they have extremists ruling them we should give them democracy ". But thank god we don't have oil in this country😅
@@sudarshan3965 In many countries, the ruling government doesn't allow any activity that is not in line with the political establishment. You can easily see some examples by searching for "world political freedom".
Video was honest and all till 10:45 that's when the journalist showed her true colors that she doesn't understand anything about what happened and happening in tunisia , u can see it even by the people she interviewed : a small minority .
this is exactly what happened in every single muslim country that had revolution in 20th/21st century. A semi-secular regime that was quite repressive was overthrown and an islamofascist party took power and killed and destroyed all the good things and all the problems remained. the problem with us from iran to algeria is that no one has the balls to point the real source of problem: islam. until islam rules violance and facism will continue in middle east and north africa
Tunisia's revolution was inevitable and western countries are not really involved in it.. The dictator had to leave. I have never seen the people angry and united against someone like him. However, western countries were heavily involved in all other uprisings.

@@sydclark5581 That is not my point. The 2015 beach incident was a pattern of terrorist attacks. These terrorist attacks happen everywhere.

Such biased reporting. So a Muslim society democratically elected a moderate Islamist party---and they call them fascist? Enahda is literally THE most docile, moderate Muslim-democratic party. They compromised on so many core issue of theirs to make sure a consensus can be reached on constitution---and yet, vice interviewed these ultra leftist folks that do no represent the majority of tunisians who took party in the 2011 revolution. Majority of Tunisian *women* supported Islamic inheritance laws over the proposed reform by these lefts (IRI survey, 2018-19)---and yet these 'activists' claim to represent "women of tunisia" and call anyone who doesn't agree with them as fascists? Vice, you could have shown the other side of the story too. Story of regular Muslims of tunisia trying to create a democratic-Muslim state via democratic process. So disappointing
True,although some might disapprove of Ennahda due to their ties with IM its clear that they abide by democratic processes and know how to compromise,they should be an example of other islamist parties but Vice would rather have a far left demagoguery
Lets be real here for a sec, if the president Ben Ali still leadin the country, Tunisia now would be in a way better economical spot than its current state lol
Great little documentary but bassem and the red-haired woman does not represent the tunisian majority.. It's so funny the things they are saying nothing of it is true..

We have analyzed Y-chromosome diversity in the western Mediterranean area, examining p49a, f Taql haplotype V and subhaplotypes Vb (Berber) and Va (Arab). A total of 2,196 unrelated DNA samples, belonging to 22 populations from North Africa and the southern Mediterranean coast of occidental Europe, have been typed. Subhaplotype Vb, predominant in a Berber population of Morocco (63.5%), was also found at high frequencies in southern Portugal (35.9%) and Andalusia (25.4%). The Arab subhaplotype Va, predominant in Algeria (53.9%) and Tunisia (50.6%), was also found at a relatively high frequency in Sicily (23.1%) and Naples (16.4%); its highest frequency in Iberia was in northern Portugal (22.8%) and Andalusia (15.5%). In Iberia there is a gradient of decreasing frequencies in latitude for both subhaplotypes Va and Vb, related to eight centuries of Muslim domination (8th to 15th centuries) in southern Iberia.

I graduated in 2010 and left the UK in 2012 just after the Arab Spring to work in Qatar. I've been in the Middle East for 10 years have worked in Qatar, Saudi, and Oman. Inevitably you work with and come across people from the Gulf, the Levant, and North African Arab countries every single day. Before I came out here I had a very one dimensional view on the Arab world. When you live and work here you realise very quickly there is no homogenous Arab world. Other than a common language which isn't even that common given how different the various dialects are, the only thing that I see every Arabic community has in common is a level of love, respect, and hospitality you simply don't see in western countries. The KG Arabic teacher from Egypt with whom I worked with in a school in Qatar would make me breakfast every morning because I was the only young male working in the school. We both knew our salaries were not equal but she didn't care. There's a selflessness and genuine sense of family I've seen from everyone in the Arab world which simply doesn't correlate with the macrosocial problems you see on state levels. It's so sad how the entire region is seen as nothing more than political and religious violence when the reality of the people is as polar opposite as you could imagine. I really hope the people in the Arab world get the leaders they deserve, and not the tyrannical despots who take advantage of power vacuums left over by meddling western imperialists.
Oh boy this is gonna turn out well.

We have analyzed Y-chromosome diversity in the western Mediterranean area, examining p49a, f Taql haplotype V and subhaplotypes Vb (Berber) and Va (Arab). A total of 2,196 unrelated DNA samples, belonging to 22 populations from North Africa and the southern Mediterranean coast of occidental Europe, have been typed. Subhaplotype Vb, predominant in a Berber population of Morocco (63.5%), was also found at high frequencies in southern Portugal (35.9%) and Andalusia (25.4%). The Arab subhaplotype Va, predominant in Algeria (53.9%) and Tunisia (50.6%), was also found at a relatively high frequency in Sicily (23.1%) and Naples (16.4%); its highest frequency in Iberia was in northern Portugal (22.8%) and Andalusia (15.5%). In Iberia there is a gradient of decreasing frequencies in latitude for both subhaplotypes Va and Vb, related to eight centuries of Muslim domination (8th to 15th centuries) in southern Iberia.

Actually, Ennahdha lost in the 2014 legislative elections and presidential elections (to Nidaa Tounes and Beji Caid Essebsi) but in 2019 they lost only the presidency and won the legislative elections (with only 52 seats out of 217).
Hope nothing but the best for the Tunisian people love from SIERRA LEONE 🙏
Biased report and dark narrative. They only focused on the Ennahda mandate (2011-2014) and skipped for some reason Nidaa Tounes (the secularist party) mandate (2014-2019). They head straight to current coservative president and skipped on purpose president Beji Caid Essebsi who was not only secularist but also a feminist.
No mention for the revolution's gains: huge poltical rights, political plurality, freedom of media, freedom of expression, right to protest, removal of some sexist laws...

Sort of random question: that thing about women not normally going to the final burial place during the funeral; is that common throughout Islam, or is it just, like a Tunisian thing? I've never heard of that before.
It's throughout Islam. Mainly because pre-Islamic Arabs would hire women to cry loudly at funerals, so when Islam was introduced, this practice was forbidden. But it also resulted in women being discouraged from attending burials. As far as I'm aware there's nothing in scripture that actually forbids women from attending the burial so maybe as time goes on that will change.
A Funeral in Islam is divided. Men and women are not allowed to mourn in the same location. The funeral is split between men and women. Only men are allowed during the burial because its their duty to bury the deceased. Afterwards, 2 locations are chosen, one where men go to pay their respects for the family of the deceased, while the other one is set for females. Some countries , like the Gulf countries allow for only close family members of the opposite sex to mourn together.
Im American..African American Sunni Muslim born and raised and Yes...its throughout Islam
@@whitedeath9 We don't hire women to cry but many do cry.
@@MrSir413 no bro , a women can attend a funeral if she can hold herself quit and don't disturb the burying and of course with a headscarf.also she is not allowed to touch the dead person if he's not a relative ( father , brother or husband). by the way i'm sunni too
Why wasn't Sudan included in that Arab spring map intro either?
I found that "To us, 300 people killed is not peaceful" comment a little condescending. I don't care where you're from - Syria, Iraq, Egypt or Libya - no one considers 300 people killed "peaceful".
And they should be greatful only 300 died unlike others who lost thousands and some are in ruin with no clear future
Look at the death toll of most revolutions throughout history. wink wink french revolution for example. what she meant is that most revolutions have a far greater death toll but that doesn't make the Tunisian revolution with only 300 people killed peaceful, well, because every human life is important .
It's the bad government get rid of the bad government and increased wages get a government that cares for the people cuz it's the people that run the country and they will be okay
It's more deeper than that
So many uneducated people falling for cheap propaganda, electing failing governments.
We in Algeria and Morocco need to follow Tunisia's example and make strides in abolishing arbitrary rule and lack of popular sovereignty. I feel the Tunisian revolution will not succeed unless the other larger Maghreb countries follow its example and all cooperate as a democratic block. Certain countries outside the region tried to abort the Tunisian revolution and are succeeding to some extent in Libya because North Africa's unity failed to defend its borders with the Middle East. Libya is right now a Middle Eastern offshoot thanks to Hafthar who will turn the country into a second Egypt (politically). The armies of Algeria and Morocco should have scattered Hafthar and snuffed out the possibility of Libya becoming a base from which to dim the democratic transformations taking shape to the west. What is going on in Libya is an emergency for the region that is being practically ignored.

thats what happen when you mix religion and politics
Religion and politics are one and the same
I read in the daily fail that whoever got in after they overthrew was himself overthrown by his defence secretary which I thought was hilarious. Politics and religion shouldn't mix but they always have and always will, same way people will use Christianity as a political tool in America and the UK because whether or not you believe in religion, it still drives alot of people and people use the (real or not real) belief of "God" (/ Allah etc) as justification for their actions ( attitudes towards gays, attitudes towards the West etc) and people's "faith" is why they will act a certain way because they believe whatever their scripture is is canon. The only religion that *should* be in politics though is Buddhism, all the others suck
Those who govern hold the gun to your head
With religions, corporations, proud of the blood they've shed
Whether it's God or the bomb, it's just the same
It's only fear under another name
that's what happens when you want to force out the people's faith from the organization of their everyday life
@@TheEpiCool No? I absolutely disagree with you. Politics and religion are quite separated in civilised countries except for example Saudi Arabia or Poland.
It really feels like Vice interviews the same type of people every country they go. I really don't think the average protestor in either the 2011 revolution or the protests that have happened every now and then were feminists, human rights activists, or dogmatic socialists. The vast majority were normal people that were just angry at the poverty and economic humiliation that they were dealing with and still are now. Instead of interviewing the average Tunisian, they interviewed elite activists who pinned a lot of blame on individuals and groups they could not name, and the rest of the blame on Ennahda, a party that is guilty chiefly because it is their main ideological rival. I have a feeling that the rest of this series is going to give us similarly incomplete pictures.

A "secular" dictator or Islamo-fascist "democracy" seem to be the only two choices for people in MENA region. Whether it's Egypt, Libya, Syria or Tunisia, the liberal opposition is never in a position to make gains from fall of a dictator, perhaps because they're limited to upper classes. Of course, elitism is the Achilles' heel of liberalism everywhere.

The problem with time Tunisia is the government takes people for granted and they have to fight back it doesn't care about them because if you did it wouldn't be happening people have to fight back and I don't blame them wages should be better because it's a beautiful country if wages were better people wouldn't be angry people wouldn't be starving people wouldn't be looking for food or money so increase the wages to make it more better for the people and not have a selfish government that doesn't care for the people which he should

@@TeddyKrimsony I mean alot of democracies are here and they still havent collapsed
One of the problems with these uprisings is there isn’t ever a good replacement. All of the uprisings from the Arab spring brought about someone way worse. There needs to be one leader that not just Nationals get behind, but all Muslims need to get behind, and there needs to be a way to oust these people without causing a situation like we saw in Syria or Libya. There needs to be a plan, not just blind outrage.
Democracy is the rule of the majority which happens to be poor religious people. Every major philosopher [plato, aristotle, socrates ....etc] have spoken against democracy. The west are all fake democracies and they use the ideology to make their people think that they're in control of the government and to fool other nations into dismantling their governments and replace them with a democratic one that can be bought or pressured into doing what the west want.
@@TeddyKrimsony love u 👏👏👏
i mean i really don't know why those politicians add religion to politics, and how people cant get that these political parties want the majority of tunisians to vote and support them using these tricks
Actually we have an old generation they grow up whit dictators presidents that make them have no knowledge in political science and they remove the media to let them think that they have to protect they religion by selecting them and the government put the young people who’s want to change this country to better in prisent before every selection for no reason sometimes to be sure that they going to win and they make them quite the country even by illegal ways like that they can roule the country like they wish .
Would've never thought that there were Black Tunisians. This is refreshing. Great report Vice and Politics is a disease.
Why wouldn't there be black Tunisians? Tunisia is in Africa and slavery has been abolished in 1857.

Tunisia was the first country to abolish slavery in the world.
Ok. Cool report. How does this serve us Tunisians anyway?... It doesn't. If anything, it will make it even more difficult. Showing the terrorism narrative from 7 years ago, isn't going to help us in any way. Nobody other than tunisian themselves really care about Tunisia. I've never understood why some of the tunisian activists love sharing their feelings with foreign media. What is it what we're seeking? Pity? Empathy? ok, and then what? In practice, nobody would watch this video and think "oh I'd really love to spend my holidays in Tunisia". Do we want foreign intervention? Nope. If anything, this serves a really ancient narrative of a region being in crisis and the west would get involved to "save the day". Pathetic

The Arab world is so boring at this point. It doesn't have that intrigue it did even a few years ago. I think most people now are just cringed by it. And clearly there is something wrong with the society as a whole over there, you just can't just blame the rulers like this is some sort of cartoon. Those same rulers are cut from the same cloth as the people. Perhaps try being honest, kind and friendly to each other and maybe, just maybe your situation may improve. I don't even think Vice should be wasting time on stuff like this, it's the same tired story for years and years. They will get a new government and a few years later will begin fighting again.

Such biased reporting. So a Muslim society democratically elected a moderate Islamist party---and they call them fascist? Enahda is literally THE most docile, moderate Muslim-democratic party. They compromised on so many core issue of theirs to make sure a consensus can be reached on constitution---and yet, vice interviewed these ultra leftist folks that do no represent the majority of tunisians who took party in the 2011 revolution.
Majority of Tunisian *women* supported Islamic inheritance laws over the proposed reform by these lefts (IRI survey, 2018-19)---and yet these 'activists' claim to represent "women of tunisia" and call anyone who doesn't agree with them as fascists? Vice, you could have shown the other side of the story too. Story of regular Muslims of tunisia trying to create a democratic-Muslim state via democratic process. So disappointing
True,although some might disapprove of Ennahda due to their ties with IM its clear that they abide by democratic processes and know how to compromise,they should be an example of other islamist parties but Vice would rather have a far left demagoguery
