The unrest that had shaken Tunisia in recent days and disturbed the citizens’ nights has revealed something very crucial in the behaviour of the security and military officers. This chaos has revealed the degree of maturity and professionalism carried out by the Tunisian security forces and the Tunisian army, who, once again, showed their technical mastery in dealing with a minority of offenders and criminals whose main target is to plunge the country into chaos, responding to the great pleasure of their coward leaders and contractors, whoever they are. Our…

Since a couple of days, we have witnessed some demonstrations which erupted in many Tunisians regions for some reasons. Either for  high unemployment rate or for longstanding and extreme poverty,  for high living cost as well as economic inequality, in a  political landscape characterized by a dysfunctional economy and political incoherence between parties.

Unfortunately, their fate is horribly deteriorated. Both are dominated in prison by anxiety and remorse at a time they could have shared moments of cheer and success for themselves and…

The event was enhanced by the presence of Minister of Education Hatem Ben Salem and a large audience and participants coming from the political, academic and professional world to discuss the issue of English learning and find out ways to improve the learning process on the basis of other experiences whether British…

I have had the opportunity to follow in a daze, footages of debates of the House of People’s Representatives (HPR) on the draft Finance law for 2018. As Tunisian citizen, I was bewildered between the kind of harsh and abusive criticisms and allegations of some deputies  towards some representatives of state institutions as well as toward their colleagues, which some of them are meaningless and reckless. We do not care which party succeed to lead the discussion in its favour. During this parliamentary plenary sessions what worried us most, is…

Eagerly, we launched a new website in English language. It is a willingness by our team to find a new way within a country known by the dominance of French language in media landscape during decades, in coexistence with native language. Actually, we are aware that the task is difficult in particular for those who began their press professional career in Arabic for a long time, but the challenge is greater than any other emotion. We are ready to achieve this dream with the necessary passion and devotion. Our big…
