Tunisia Unemployment Riot

        Tunisia has been going through some hard times lately, mainly because of the lack of unemployment in the country. Everything started on December 17, 2010 when a 26-year-old man named, Mohammed Bouazizi, doused himself in paint thinner and set himself on fire in front of a local municipal office. Bouazizi's effort to support his family forced him to sell fruits and vegetables in the central town of Sidi Bouzid without a permit or a license; making the police confiscate his produce cart before this incident happened. Fortunately, Bouazizi's act of desperation and frustration did not result in worse consequences; he was taken to a hospital near Tunis for treatment of his third-degree burns. With this citizen act of speech on how the lack of unemployment is affecting the lives of every graduating citizens, highlights the public frustration over living standards, police violence and a lack of human rights. After this act done by Mohammed Bouazizi, the protest soon began to arise that same day, they quickly spreaded across the region and ultimately the country as a whole.
        Citizens of Tunisia have organized numerous protest against their leader Ben Ali, asking the Interpol to help arrest former president and former family so that they could be tried for theft and currency offeces on January 26th. In conclusion, the governments' lack of initiative caused the past events to occur in a ripple effect all of them joined as one in the same reason and purpose to keep protesting for their rights. It is very sad to see that most graduating college students are unable to find a good qualifying job that exceeds their expectations and the amount of effort each student put in their individual education. Despite the  low actions of the leader Ben Ali towards the employment of his country, it is great to see the citizens take action on protesting as a united group. Although many graduates that have yet and did not find jobs decided to commit suicide because of their ongoing frustration of low income and no money at all to their families. Friends and family of these people who have died as a result of this unfortunate reality are still continuing on the effort to make a difference in the governments mind, to finally take action and provide hope to its citizens. Because thats what they want... to be recognized and one day reach the attention of the government, causing them to realize that the country is trying to survive despite the consequences of unemployment.
