One is that those who are looking for foreign conspiracies in the events in Tunisia are wrong in the thick of it. Yes, it is not that foreign aid was not at once, but that the main crisis was internal Tunisia.
Habib Barguiba is considered the architect of Tunisia's independence. He was a disciple of Ataturk. His only dream was to oust Tunisia from the former occupiers, from whose clutches he had apparently 'rescued' the country
Arranged in the style of the French.
In which country did you know that hijab was banned for the first time in the world? In Tunisia! A head-on Sunni Muslim-majority country !! This 'achievement' is all over again. He used to drink juice in public on TV channels during Ramadan,
It was spread all over the country. He was sad until he died - he could not drink alcohol in public one day in Ramadan! As soon as she got power, she fixed the dress code for the women of the country.
The information is needed to understand how obvious the Islamist-secularist conflict is in Tunisia. There is no need for external help to remove the Islamists, the internal conflict of the country is the main reason for this.
Ben Ali, who was ousted by the Arab Spring and held an election after coming to power, is the kind of election that military rulers stage for the legitimacy of power.
But by reversing all reckonings, the Islamic Party of Nahda took 17% of the national vote, and in some areas 30%, under strict surveillance!
Ben Ali becomes alert. He realizes that his only future enemy is this Nahda. By 1992, Islamists had suffered horrific persecution. They are strictly suppressed all over the country. They were also arrested for 'serious' crimes such as wearing beards or praying. The mosques were under intense surveillance.
Many of them were released by the end of the nineties, but none of them were allowed to lead normal lives.
They were banned from traveling abroad. The job was banned. I had to go through a 'security checkup' at least once a month. Someone every week. And those who were lucky had to appear in court several times a day.
In a country like this where the seculars are more juicy than the Bengali seculars, it is not surprising that a coup took place, but the real surprise is how they came to power, they survived for almost a decade ! This is the miracle.
Two- In the fall of An Nahdar, I saw many 'Islamists' also playing armpits. Because Nahda has become 'secular'. Great crime. They didn't bother to check how Nahda came to power. Was their rise to power very easy even after the revolution?
After the revolution, there was a natural panic in the left-wing circles - the country is being occupied by Islamists! They crowded Beji Saeed Essebsi's office every day. "The dash is going to the abyss, the Islamists are seizing power, cut them to shreds, kill them, just give orders, I will clear them all," was the daily plea.
Beji Said Essebsi is Tunisia's most elite, noble and respected leftist politician. He was revered in the eyes of many Islamists, from the army to the Sequoia, the Left. He was the President of the country till 2019 in the government of An Nahdar. He has been one of the most influential people in the country since the time of the French.
The only credit for Tunisia not becoming Syria or Libya goes to Rashid Nahdar's 'apostate' leaders Rashid Ghanushir and Bezi Saeed Essebsi. Again, the only credit to these two.
Tunisia has survived only because of their prudence. Millions of human beings have survived. Saeed Essebsi is also one of the reasons why Left-Secura has not been able to cue so far. After his death in 2019, they basically got up.
The first Ghanushi-Essebsi meeting took place in Paris, at the Hotel Bristol. Essebsi went there under the pretext of medical checkup. And Ghanushi went without telling anyone, not even his party leaders knew.
The meeting was held under strict secrecy. Because both of them knew that as soon as the issue of their meeting with each other was leaked, both of them would be expelled from their respective parties. It was going to happen to Ghanushi's fate. It is understandable how much pressure was put on them when the two grumpy politicians were sweating profusely while sitting in the full speed AC of Hotel Bristol.
In response to leftists calling for the destruction of the Islamists, Essebsi said that if we bite, the Islamists would retaliate. That would be a death knell. Tunisia will be destroyed by our bites. So be patient.
Then there were many secret meetings between the two. There may have been some friendship. Snake neule friendship! The leftists get their first push when their father-in-law Saeed Essebsi disapproves of their counter-revolution against Nahdar!
Then slowly their meeting came to the fore. The huge storm goes through both of them.
Just imagine the situation that Allama Jonaid Babungari and Hasanul Haque Inu are negotiating !! Maybe Babungari agreed, how to convince his millions of fans, supporters and thousands of party leaders? How will Inu Shabag handle the revolutionaries?
Ghanushi and Esebsi have had to go through this. The news of their meeting hit like a tornado. What is the point of compromise?
Those who are very unhappy that Ghanushi has become an 'apostate' should think again. Yes, I have no hesitation in admitting that Ghanushi has given a lot of discounts, the price of those discounts but he has to pay.
Today fascinated with Turkey, this party did not come here in one day. After three queues, today's AKP after the hanging of the elected Prime Minister. It took fifty years to come here. It is just beginning in Tunisia. Barely started. Be patient.
Now I would not be surprised if Ghannouchi is killed like Morsi. This is what is supposed to happen now according to the rules. If he survives, that is fate.
Ghanushi realized that if there was no country, there would be no secular or Islamist. There will be whole refugee camps like Syria. If the country survives, many opportunities will come for the establishment of Islam, there will be many opportunities for the establishment of Khilafah. If we change everything overnight, the result will be the same as that of Shahid Morsi.
Many people think that Ikhwan was killed by CC. Half-truth. The Ikhwan itself is dead. After coming to power, when Morsi embarked on an overnight campaign to change the country, he saw that there was no manpower in hand. There are not enough skilled workers to replace the Mubarak administration.
Can you think? The Ikhwan, the world's most powerful Islamic party and the guru of all Islamic political parties, does not have enough manpower. The semi-Muslim and semi-secular administrations have intercepted Morsi step by step.
CC's father did not have the power to occupy the country without the support of a large part of the administration.
In politics, nothing happens overnight, nor will it. Even in Tunisia, not everything will change in one term. The infinite long path of history is still ahead.
