In the cradle of Tunisia's revolution, anger gave way to apathy. Then Gaza happened
Tunisians in the cradle of the 2011 revolution, Sidi Bouzid, have shifted from political apathy to renewed activism due to Israel's war on Gaza, accusing their government of failing to act against the conflict while economic hardship persists. The conflict has reignited public discourse after years of silence under President Kais Saied's authoritarian rule.
