But in December 2010, a fruit vendor, Mohamed Bouazizi, 26, set himself on fire in protest after the police took her basket of fruit. The protest action caused a deeply symbolic repressed anger in the population.
President Ben Ali visited the hospital bed Bouaziz - Närpiö lived three weeks before his death on Jan. 4 - but failed to appease the rage for decades of corruption and low living standards and rectify oppression.

Hariri's son, Saad became prime minister.

Saad Hariri, was forced from power this year after government ministers allied with the movement of Syria and Iran, Hezbollah, backed by leaving the government.
Najib Mikati, a new prime minister loyal to Hezbollah, took office last week -. "Day of fury", the same day that the followers of Hariri took to the streets for a
