Tunisian Revolution
The
Tunisian Revolution
, also known as the
Jasmine Revolution
, was an intensive campaign of
civil resistance
, including a series of street
demonstrations
taking place in
Tunisia
. The events began on 18 December 2010, the day after the
self-immolation
of
Mohammed Bouazizi
in
Sidi Bouzid
, and led to the ousting of longtime president
Zine El Abidine Ben Ali
in January 2011. It eventually led to a thorough
democratization
of the country and to free and democratic elections. They saw the victory of a coalition of the Islamist
Ennahda Movement
with the centre-left
Congress for the Republic
and the left-leaning
Ettakatol
as junior partners.
