Behind the cart, in the city center, the vacant lot that was supposed to house the Museum of the Revolution remains empty 10 years later. 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 union protests across the region—the start of the Tunisian Revolution, which culminated on January 14, 2011, in 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.
