I was supposed to make the updates of the events of Sidi Bouzid but I changed my mind after a special encounter. Some friends, who lately noticed my tiredness, invited me to a small party in their house.

Authorities promised to help them. The day aids were provided, the TV was there to record and preserve this historic moment! According to my witness: people were handed some old wool blankets and some food. When the TV journalists left, the local authorities took the aids back !!!
My interlocutor told me about women giving birth to their children on their way to hospital for the absence of means of transport and about students forced to skip classes for more than a week when it is raining or snowing ...
My only question is : where is the solidarity fund 26-26?
