Tunisia
Modesty for women is an imperative component of the Muslim society. This component is stressed by the Qur’an; which governs the way in which all Muslims are to live their lives. As such, in order to adhere to the words of the Qur’an, Muslim women wear a veil which covers their head; known as a hijab. The hijab is worn by Muslim women beyond the age of puberty in the presence of non-related adult males. The hijab also goes much deeper than merely being a covering for Muslim women to wear; in that the veil embodies a metaphysical dimension, whereby the veil represents the separation of man/the world from God. Such is the depth to which Muslim women regard the wearing of the hijab. However, despite their zeal to obey the central religious text of Islam, a myriad of Muslim women around the world are presently undergoing or have in the past undergone much prejudice and discrimination with regard to the wearing of the hijab. Several countries have taken drastic measures with regard to the hijab; one of the countries in question is Tunisia.
Despite being a Muslim-majority country (98% of the country is Muslim), Tunisia has not always looked kindly on the wearing of the hijab by Muslim women. For many years the hijab has been an issue within Tunisia; dating back to 1981 when the wearing of the hijab was banned. Tunisian authorities defended their actions by encouraging women, instead, to wear modest dress in line with Tunisian traditions, as opposed to wearing the hijab. Women who wore the hijab were banned in schools and government buildings; whilst those who insisted on wearing the hijab were faced with losing their jobs. Back in 1981, confrontation between the Tunisian government and Islamists was at its height, as authorities deemed the hijab as a sectarian dress.
The actions of the government in 1981 was again emulated in 2006 when the authorities launched a campaign against the hijab, banning it in some public places, where police would stop women on the streets and ask them to remove it, and encourage them not to wear it again.
Much of the reason behind Tunisia’s anti-hijab stance was due to the threat of Islamic fundamentalists, which in turn could have lead to extremism. This view stems from the then notorious dictator of Tunisia, Zine El Abidine Ben Ali. When in power, Ben Ali strengthened legal restrictions on the hijab and Islamic dress, as he deemed the Hijab as a sectarian form of dress, which had come into Tunisia uninvited. He believed that it was extremists who had been urging women to wear traditional garments; thereby exploiting religion for political purposes. As such, Ben Ali believed that banning the hijab was a policy that rejected extremists from all sides and aimed to foster moderation and tolerance.
Ultimately, this was an attempt by the government to rein in any threat to their power; for they believed that if they were to allow women to adherently follow this idea of hijab-wearing, that would pave the way for women and others members of the Islamic community to further follow other Islamic doctrine that may bring Tunisia into disrepute. Ben Ali and his government believed that allowing the wearing of the hijab would make the Islamic community more susceptible to indoctrination, and ultimately believed that banning the hijab would go a long way to curtailing the potential of such.
Moreover, this ban on hijab-wearing was a law that endeavoured to anchor Tunisia in modernity. This was again a notion that was adopted by Ben Ali and his government. By having this stance, the authorities were insinuating that wearing the hijab was a dated practice; and if Tunisia is to keep in line with the forever evolving nature of society, the country must do away with old practices. This quote by Mongia Souaïhi, a Tunisian academic, really sums up this point, ‘whereas long ago, in the era of Mohammed, Islam’s revered prophet, face- or body-covering garments prescribed for women served to differentiate the slave from the mistress, there have not been slaves or masters in Tunisia in a long time, but rather human beings, men or women, free and equal...The habit doesn’t make the monk, right?’ Souaïhi tries to make us understand that long past are the days when certain practices are required by Muslims to do. She goes further to accentuate the notion that habits do not make a Muslim a Muslim, but the belief in Islam itself.
The secretary-general of Ben Ali’s ruling Constitutional Democratic Rally political party echoes this idea posed by Souaïhi. He states that, ‘If we accept today the wearing of the headscarf, tomorrow we’ll be led to accept that a woman’s right to work, to vote and to education should be denied, and that she should be confined to a procreating role.’ With this statement, the secretary-general is stressing the idea that Tunisia is no longer the same country that it was many years ago. He is explaining the notion that if the hijab is allowed to be worn, this would signify anti-progression in Tunisia; moving back to the times when women were solely called to give birth and take care of the family; whilst having no rights or suffrage.
Furthermore, Ben Ali and his government regime were said to have been crushing Islam in Tunisia while at the same time trying to avoid charges of being un-Islamic. In the 1990s President Ben Ali crushed Tunisia’s Islamic opposition party when fighting erupted in neighbouring Algeria between Islamic movements and the military Government. He stipulated that only personnel appointed by the Government may lead activities in mosques and mosques were to remain closed except during prayer times and other authorized religious ceremonies, such as marriages or funerals. Such was the government’s general viewpoint on Islam at the time; as result, they adopted a ruthless stance on the hijab.
However, all of this changed when the Tunisian Revolution occurred on January, 2011. This Revolution sparked a monumental change in Tunisia; which eventually led to the ousting of Ben Ali, after 23 years of his dictatorship. The revolution was an intensive campaign of civil resistance, including a series of street demonstrations; this lead to a thorough democratisation of the country and to free and democratic elections; which saw the rise of Islamic parties. The demonstrations were precipitated by high unemployment, food inflation, corruption, a lack of freedom of speech, a lack of political freedoms and poor living conditions. These demonstrations ultimately led to the ban on the hijab being lifted, as the country where 98% of its population are Muslim, were now given the power to exercise their faith as thoroughly as they deemed fit.
I believe that it is an utter shame that in a country like Tunisia, such events surrounding the hijab have manifested. Considering the fact that 98% of Tunisia is Muslim, it seems absurd to me that taking such drastic measures against a key component of Islam could actually have been a possibility, let alone a manifestation. I believe that because wearing a hijab is a vital part of being an Islamic woman, no measures should ever be taken to infringe on their beliefs. Conversely, I do understand to an extent the worries of Ben Ali and his government, with regard to extremism; in that they wanted to avoid any potential of fundamentalist/extreme views seeping into greater divisions within the Islamic society. Nevertheless, I do not believe that banning the hijab was the answer to this potential risk. If anything, this may have pushed Muslims more towards the fundamentalist side, in their efforts to defy the government and hold even firmly to their faith.

Arab Spring

...series of harassments that he had experienced, and the last indignity that he suffered was being slapped by a female Tunisian government employee.[2] He then subsequently set himself on fire, and this event is was set off the Arab Spring, or the Arab Awakening, as it is also called.[3] However, this was only the catalyst; the Arab Spring is a fluid, ongoing event that is steeped in history with economic, political, and social factors contributing to its occurrence. After Mohamed’s self-immolation there were thirty days of national protests in Tunisia before the former Tunisian dictator Zine El Abidine was removed from power.[4] During this time there were others in the Arab world watching this on satellite channels like Aljazeera, so there was an increase in cases of self-immolation in other parts of the Arab world, including Egypt.[5] Many in Egypt were watching this going on and thought that if a small country like Tunisia can overthrow a dictator through popular uprising then perhaps they could do the same thing.[6] In Egypt there was a situation in which several forces came together to call for people to go to the streets to protest against the former Mubarak regime. The people who took to the streets and led the protest were mainly socially conscious, educated youth who were also largely underemployed.[7] These men and women helped to lead the way, and went to Tahrir...

Ww 2 History

...The Germans and their Italian allies controlled a narrow but strategic strip of the North African littoral between Tunisia and Egypt with impassable desert bounding the strip on the south. Numbering some 100,000 men under a battle-tested German leader, Field Marshal Erwin Rommel, the German-Italian army in Libya posed a constant threat to Egypt, the Near East, and French North Africa and by controlling the northern shores of the Mediterranean denied the Mediterranean to Allied shipping. Only a few convoys seeking to supply British forces on the island of Malta ever ventured into the Mediterranean, and these frequently took heavy losses.       Moving against French Africa posed for the Allies special problems rooted in the nature of the Armistice that had followed French defeat in 1940. Under the terms of that Armistice, the Germans had left the French empire nominally intact, along with much of the southern half of Metropolitan France; in return the French government was pledged to drop out of the war. Although an underground resistance movement had already begun in France and the Allies were equipping a “Free French” force, that part of the regular French Army and Navy left intact by the Armistice had sworn allegiance to the Vichy government. This pledge had led already to the anomaly of Frenchman fighting Frenchman and of the British incurring French enmity by destroying part of the fleet of their former ally.       If bloodshed was to be averted in the Allied invasion, French...

Libya and My Abiding Faith

...Libya and My Abiding Faith Libya sits directly between Tunisia and Egypt -– two nations where changes of regime has taken place recently through its own’s pople complicated effort.  For more than four decades, the Libyan people have been ruled by a tyrant -– Muammar Qaddafi.  He has denied his people freedom, exploited their wealth, murdered opponents at home and abroad, and terrorized innocent people around the world. Last month, Qaddafi’s grip of fear appeared to give way to the promise of freedom.  In cities and towns across the country, Libyans took to the streets to claim their basic human rights.  As one Libyan said to an international mass media, “For the first time we finally have hope that our nightmare of 40 years will soon be over.” In the face of the world’s condemnation, Qaddafi chose to escalate his attacks, launching a military campaign against the Libyan people.  Innocent people were targeted for killing. Hospitals and ambulances were attacked.  Journalists were arrested and sexually assaulted.  Supplies of food and fuel were choked off.  Water for hundreds of thousands of people in Misurata was shut off.  All of these brutal things cannot be hidden from the unprecedented development of technology development. Confronted by this brutal repression and a looming humanitarian crisis,  European allies declared their willingness to commit resources to stop the killing.  And so United Nations Security Council has passed historic resolution that authorized a no-fly...

Tunisian Revolution

...Beginning of the Arab Spring In Tunisia and other Middle Eastern countries, revolutions have broken out. The Tunisian revolution, or the “Jasmine Revolution,” was the start of the Arab Spring, or the collective term for these modern revolutions in the Middle East. I chose to study and write about the Tunisian Revolution because I am very interested in Middle Eastern and modern studies. In my contemporary global studies class, we briefly studied modern revolutions, but I would like to research more on this topic. These revolutions are still causing chaos today, which is part of the reason it is so interesting to me. To start my research, I came up with a few questions about the revolutions, which guided my research. These questions were: Why did the citizens start to revolt? What is happening during the aftermath of the revolution? What effect does this revolution (Tunisian) have on other countries? Why has Tunisia succeeded while other countries have not had the same success? These questions were very helpful when it came to doing research. While doing my research some websites were helpful, when others did not have quite the same usefulness. The two best sources that I used for my research were Britannica and Aljazeera. These sources had great insight on the revolution in Tunisia, especially the Aljazeera article “Political Violence and the Efforts to Salvage Tunisia’s Revolution.” Aljazeera has even sent field agents to go report in Tunisia and Libya. Britannica gave...

In terms of background to this report, it should be noted that the global market for wine industry is changing significantly with substantial differences in the structure of the wine industry around the world. For instance, there are 232,900 wine producers in France but the top 10 brands control only 4% of the market. In contrast, four firms control over 75% of the Australian wine market. Hence there is a marked difference in industry structure when comparing the “New World” producers (e.g. Australia, Chile, United States) to the “Old World” firms.

Indigenes Film Critique

...Film Critique #2 Indigenes This film tells a story about four African soldiers, Said, Ardelaker, Messaoud and Yassir, who fought for France in World War II. As the film going on, audiences start to know the little-known history about Indigenes through these four African soldiers’ life story. They joined the war for various reasons. Said joined the war to survive. As he said he is “from total poverty”, and he at least can have something to eat in the army. Yassir joined the army for money. During the battle he was busy to pick up watches and other belongings of died German soldiers. Ardelaker and Messaoud joined the war for the loyalty to France, just as most of other African soldiers. They want to fight for France; even this is the country they have never seen, they still think they are “the children of the fatherland”. However, their attitudes changed during the war because of the identity recognition and Discrimination. I think it is also the main themes of these films. These soldiers consider themselves as French citizens, but French military treats them as second-class soldiers. In the scene of they dining on a ship, the French officer refuse to offer North African soldier tomato for their meal. Ardelaker had a fight with his officer, but it not just because of a tomato, he want to be treat equally as his “French brother”.

How Did The French Revolution Affect The Country

...When the dynasty of beys drove Tunisia, a province of the Ottoman Empire, to bankruptcy in the nineteenth century France, Britain, and Italy were put in control of the country. However, ultimately it was France that ruled the territory. The French practiced indirect rule over Tunisia. More specifically, Tunisia was a protectorate of France meaning that the local rulers of Tunisia were kept in place but they had to follow the directions of France. Tunisia officially became a French protectorate on May 12, 1881 with the signing of the Treaty of Bardo. While the treaty did not completely overturn the political structure because the government and rulers remained the same the French did have some affect overall. For example, under the treaty Tunisia would undergo French military occupation. In addition, the French would take over decisions regarding finance and foreign relations. Also, the French repressed the beys when they attempted to take more control of their...

Marketing Strategy of Basmati Rice in Tunisian Market

Choice of Market: Accelerating India's export growth to the Middle East and Africa (MEA) provides an opportunity to add 1-2 percentage points of GDP growth to our economy. India's exports to MEA went up seven times over the 2004 level to about $60 billion in 2010. This was significantly faster than India's overall exports, which went up about five times to $250 billion at the same time. The share of this region in India's total exports has gone up from about 18% to almost 25%. We still have barely scratched the surface of MEA's true potential. In years when retaining the 8%+ GDP growth is such a challenge, focusing on MEA exports makes a whole lot of sense. Currently, our exports to MEA are lopsided, with about half our exports going to a single country, the UAE. This fact seems odd, considering the UAE is one of the smallest countries in MEA in terms of population, till we understand that the UAE plays a role as a trade conduit to other countries in the region. However, it also shows the enormous potential we have if we market our products and services directly to these countries. In Middle East we have countries like Iran , Iraq and Sudan. Iran, which is one of the largest markets in the region, contributes a tiny $2 billion, or 3%, to our exports to the region. Iran has...
