Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Minute: On Tunisia - birthplace of the Arab Spring

Its seven years since the so-called Arab Spring revolution erupted, which saw mass protests bring sweeping political change to several countries across the Arab world.

In this Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Minute series we’re looking at Tunisia, the North African country where it all began - and where protesters have again taken to the streets in recent weeks.

Wafa Zaiane, a Tunisian journalist for the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Arabic Service has been revisiting the events of the 2011 revolution and the changes it brought to the country.
