Last modified on Fri 15 Jan 2021 02.17 EST Moslem Kasdallah rests on his crutches, the stump of his amputated leg on display. His voice hoarse, he yells the demands that, after years of delay, have brought him and the other wounded and bereaved of the Tunisian revolution to the steps of the government building they have been occupying since December. Some are on hunger strike, others have sewn their lips shut. Kasdallah carries a bottle of fuel and a lighter, ready to self-immolate. Yesterday marked 10 years since Tunisia’s autocrat Zine al-Abidine Ben Ali and his family fled the country for Saudi Arabia, drawing to a close the month of unrest that began with the death of Mohamed Bouazizi, a street vendor who set himself on fire. Compared with the carnage that would follow in Syria and across much of the Arab world, Tunisians escaped relatively lightly.
