It’s interesting to see an Aboul-Qacem Echebbi’s poem translated into English. No wonder that Wikipedia makes such an effort.
I have already translated the same poem into English and French one year and half ago, but I don’t have the skill of writing in poetic English.
In the poem “To the Unfair Tyrant”, the Tunisian young […]

Not too early, but it’s a good step.

I hate soccer, and I’m not interested in it at all; but I was very glad yesterday after the defeat of the Tunisian club team, for no car accident was reported in my street last night, as the crazy fans were sad and without mood to express their “happiness”.

For those who still don’t have ADSL in their home, Tunisie Telecom will make things easier for them, as they will have to switch to post paid phone line!
Why such a measure? Before, when there used to be only one alternative, TT could increase the amount on the bill, there was no control, and […]

Deux histoires que j’ai apprises à propos de deux Tunisiens vivant en France.
La première concerne quelqu’un qui avait peint sa voiture comme celles des policiers, mais au lieu de la traditionnelle “POLICE”, il a écrit “VOLEUR”. Son but: manifester contre le fait que des personnes aient des avantages plus que des autres à cause […]

Pour être déconnecté de la réalité et vivre un monde de rêve où l’on se fait illusion d’être triomphant, orgueilleux et terrifiant, inutile de boire 2 bouteilles ou de fumer de l’herbe de haute qualité : achetez un journal tunisien en arabe !
Curieusement, l’information qu’ils mettent à la une n’existe nulle part dans aucun […]

Yesterday I went to the STEG to pay the electricity bill, where aside from the electricity, gas and taxes, you must pay a fee for the Television for the awful programs they show! It was full and there were 2 queues as 2 cashiers were available, but everything was ok, as it was organized; […]

Le mois de Ramadan est une occasion de renouer avec la Télévision Nationale, pour la simple raison de la série télévisée de Kamel Touati. Et comme regarder c’est gratuit, la taxe que je dois payer c’est d’assister pendant au moins une demi-heure aux centaines de publicités avant et pendant la série.
La conclusion que je […]

Je me souviens lorsque je passais mes vacances chez ma tante, une voisine à elle fut décédée. Selon les traditions, un deuil était déclaré pour 40 jours.
Une chose qui m’avait attiré l’attention, on diffusait pendant ce temps-là les matchs de la Copa América Latina de Fútebol. Étant amateurs de football comme la plupartdes gens […]

On m’a raconté cette anecdote, je ne suis pas sûr de sa crédibilité, mais elle m’a fait tellement rire.
Un ancien militant nationaliste (qui a donc combattu contre l’occupation française) avait l’habitude de faire la sieste dans un endroit isolé à Gafsa, au calme et au frais. Un jour, lors de son sommeil, une équipe […]

Lagoon on the island of Djerba, Governorate of Médenine, Tunisia (N 33°48’-E 10°54’).
Low, flat Djerba, its highest point 50 meters (165 feet) above sea level, is none other than the ancient Phoenician, then Roman, island of Meninx: the mythical “Island of the Lotus-eaters” that Ulysses was so reluctant to leave. Despite frequent foreign incursions, the […]

41ºC yesterday in Tunis, today temperature has decreased to 36. Unexpected heat which is not usual in May.
Is it a coincidence? In Montreal took place the UN climate conference clinches agreement. Is there a chance left to save the planet from the resource overexploit and the chemical industry?
Again, let’s hope …
