Tunisia, a country located in the northern part of Africa, marks the birthplace of the Jasmine Revolution, a wave of demonstrations across the country in support of the overthrow of the current government of the time and the creation of a democracy. The Tunisian people saw that their economy, their society and their country were failing and understood that the current government system and officials were to blame.
