A broad range of Tunisians from every walk of life, from trade unionists and lawyers to musicians, journalists and religious leaders, had come together to call for the ouster of the long-standing and corrupt President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali.
Serving as president for 23 years, Ben Ali was deemed "authoritarian" and "undemocratic" by Amnesty International and Freedom House and routinely exiled his political opponents.
By Jan. 14, the protests had reached such a fevered peak that Ben Ali fled the country to seek sanctuary in Saudi Arabia, taking with him 1.5 tons of gold from the Central Bank of Tunisia. This low down scum left his country in such a manner that there really wasnt anyone to rule them when he fled. Also the prime minister he left in his stead is a fool. majority of the youth is unemployed and unable to take care of their families. In fact on Dec. 17, 2010, Mohamed Bouazizi lit himself on fire in protest over authorities confiscating his only means of support, a fruit and vegetable cart.
According to the Toronto Star, Bouazizi was forced to become a street vender when his family's farm was shut down due to eminent domain purchases by the government.So this is why i choose President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali as (last week)crazie n a box!cause he is a heartless dictator who leaves his countrymen and woman and steals their gold! u are an ass sir!
