Tunisia for all eternity? “A particular geography, a wide opening onto an emblematic sea, an urbanity inscribed on its soil for millennia, an unprecedented mixture of populations and cultures, the centuries-old existence of a State, this is what would have contributed to giving this country its particular configuration”, writes Sophie Bessis in her fascinating “History of Tunisia, from Carthage to the present day” (Tallandier). Thus the country takes great pride in having been the first Muslim country to establish equality between men and women, and in being the first Arab democracy.

I work as a news website author and mostly cover the opinion section. I have been writing since I was a teenager, and have always enjoyed telling stories. I studied journalism at university and loved every minute of it. After graduating, I decided to move to London and take up a position with a Global Happenings. It has been an incredible experience, learning about all sorts of different cultures and meeting some amazing people. My goal is to continue learning and growing in my career so that I can provide readers with the best possible content.
