February 9: Salem, Mohamed’s brother, at Mohamed Bouazizi’s home on the 40th day after his death. Together with his immediate family—his mother, uncle, brother, and sisters—and friends from the neighborhood, they commemorated the 40th day since Mohamed Bouazizi’s death. In Muslim culture, the 40th day is the day when the soul of the deceased leaves the earth to enter paradise, but it is also the day when the family must accept the departure of their loved one—the day when the period of mourning is deemed to have ended. On this day, close relatives gather for a meal at the home of the deceased’s family.
