February 9: In front of Mohamed’s house, the family’s children are playing. 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 are commemorating 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 on which the mourning period is declared over. On this day, close relatives gather for a meal at the home of the deceased’s family.
