Tunisia!

 In Paris, nearly 10,000 people (8,000 according to police) marched Saturday, January 15, 2011 in support of the Tunisian people. An event that seemed torn between the joy of the departure of Ben Ali and the tension between Trends struggle to build the future. 
 
 The activists of the group Pirate Area AF-es were present. 
 We helped organize a parade with a banner anarchist simple ("International Solidarity") and a leaflet containing most of the release of International Relations ("Tunisia, youth lifts / From rebellion to revolution "see below) with a final section on recent developments, particularly from Ben Friday, January 14: The people, united, was stronger than the bullets of police, loyal to his reasons to be, will be killed More than 80 protesters in less than a week, despite the fear, despite the gas, batons and guns, despite the "state of emergency" draconian, Tunisians are able to bend their 
 government. 
 
 Our leaflet and our presence has been variously assessed: one side of many expressions of sympathy from people not belonging to a determined procession, and some contacts, the other a certain tension with Tunisian political parties ( nationalist defending the interim government) that our presence seemed to interfere. But ultimately, the better if it bothered them: it is precisely because the future of the revolution is still uncertain Tunisia (curfew Palace and dealings) that it was important to be present to carry the anarchist perspective, trying to avoid making the recovery or lecture. 
 
 Indeed, self-organization of the Tunisian people has already begun: in the central region of Tunisia, where the revolt began following the self-immolation of a young, had taken place recently land invasions by peasants (whose uncle of the young), because it is a very poor region, but also traditionally rebellious ... The union UGTT, whose bureaucracy is completely linked to the regime, was overwhelmed by the reaction of the base, especially in local unions, which gathered numerous unionized ... The media highlight the non-coaching events to suggest a risk of chaos, but has led to the spontaneous self-organization, 
 particularly sensitive in the poorer districts, the implementation practices of solidarity and collective struggle. A sign of hope still on the truck led the procession from the Paris event, a poster: "the freedom of others extends to infinity mine", it does remind you of anything? 
 
 Cheers Tunisian revolution! "
