Khaled Aouainia, a lawyer and activist with the POCT (Communist Workers’ Party), on the roof of his apartment building in the city center. He is one of those who helped shape the legend of Mohamed Bouazizi from the very day of his self-immolation in order to mobilize people quickly and effectively. In Sidi Bouzid, a look back 10 years after the revolution. Ten years ago, on December 17, 2010, Mohamed Bouazizi, a young unemployed man and street vendor selling vegetables, set himself on fire in front of the governorate building in downtown Sidi Bouzid. This marked the beginning of labor union protests across the region—the start of the Tunisian revolution that would culminate on January 14, 2011, with the ouster of the dictatorial President Ben Ali and his family. “Work, Freedom, and Dignity”—these three words from the 2010 revolutionaries’ slogan are still chanted today in the streets of Tunisia.
