The two articles I picked for this week continue to talk about where the Tunisian economy needs to go, followed by what needs to be done by outside forces in order for Tunisia to succeed. My first article was written by Abdulawahab Alkebsi. He discussed the Arab Spring, and how most people forget that half of the Arab Spring is about economic reform that comes with political reform. Alkebsi definitely is under the categories of both a radical and a market liberal. He is in those categories because he mainly talks about how there needs to be a new economic reform that does not involve the government. He discusses how if the government creates the reform they will be in even bigger trouble. It needs to be done by the people in order to be successful. Even though the unemployment rate has dropped it is still at 15% and that is way too big if they want to have a good economy. My second article was written about the Tunisian youth threatening to kill themselves or kill others. That is a pretty big step considering regardless someone dies. They are willing to sacrifice any lives, including their own, to see a change. They are doing it in a protest of terrorism. They want to see an end to terrorism and have stated that everyone has to come together to make it stop. The people have to come together with one another as well as all of the governments. This reminded me of our readings from the Arab Spring, talking about reformation and progress. These are definitely a group of radicals that want to be political idealists. They wanted to negotiate but that was not working so they were forced to become radicals.
