M33-539

January 29, 2016: Baligh Aloui, 33, set himself on fire on Thursday, January 21, in front of his family home, where he lives with his parents and siblings. His brother, Abdelsattar, saved him by throwing himself on top of him. He has been at the Kasserine hospital for a week; his condition is stable, but he has second-degree burns on his face and hands. He set himself on fire on Thursday, January 21, the day after the government announced the creation of 5,000 jobs in Kasserine. That day, the unemployed rushed to the governorate, district offices, and city halls to register, driven by renewed hope of finally securing a job, stable employment, and a decent income... This influx led to chaos, overcrowding, and tensions... This young man, finding himself once again rejected by the administration, by the state, returned home with a bottle of gasoline and set himself on fire in the street in front of his house, in front of his mother, his brothers, and his sisters. He owes his survival to his brother, who was able to put out the fire very quickly, but this young man is scarred for life, with second-degree burns covering his entire face—all amid the total indifference of society and the government. In 2015, 113 people set themselves on fire in Tunisia.
