The two articles that I posted on Diigo this week share a common theme of lack of economic growth and the theme of secularism vs. Islamism. The first article from my Diigo account is an article from the Voice of America published February 7, 2015. This article talks about the attacks against vital installations, including the interior ministry, security stations and civilian buildings in the capital, Tunis. Many Islamist groups have emerged after a 2011 uprising and the new cabinet faces many challenges with these groups. Essid states, “Our priority will be to strengthen measures to combat extremism and strength security capabilities to confront terrorism and the protection of the democratic transition”. The second article is from Reuters, this article talks about the economy of Tunisia. Protests all over Tunisia are going on. They are to the point where a man was shot dead, where police fire bullets and tear gas the crowds. Tunisians are upset with the lack of growth, high unemployment and rising prices. You can see the anger of the people of Tunisia. Angry with the government because things are still lacking in their cities. The people want a change and them revolting and making a revolution is only the way they see that will get done. The people want to be heard and this is how they are making noise.
