| PRAISING TUNISIA | | "If we all indeed come from Africa, then the very idea of Africa itself comes from the antique northern coast of that great landmass, where the cosmology is subtly different and where the inhabitants look north to Europe and southward at the Sahara. Here was the mighty civilization known as Carthage, which came as close as possible to reversing what we think of as the course of "history" and conquering Europe from Africa instead of the other way around"...

| REMEMBERING BOURGUIBA | | This past July 25th marked the 50th anniversary of the proclamation of the Tunisian Republic, and this August 3rd marks the 104th birthday anniversary of the late Habib Bourguiba. It is an opportunity to pay tribute to the Father of modern Tunisia. He was a great leader who had shown the way to his contemporaries and inspired subsequent generations. I doing so, he had immunized his Country against failure. "May his flame never die" |
