Tunisia is Everywhere

Workers, the unemployed, and oppressed classes have taken to the streets across North Africa and the Mediterranean. The world economic crisis has brought about a period of deep austerity and exploitation to the already struggling peoples of North Africa and the Mediterranean. The struggle of the Tunisian insurrection against US-backed Ben Ali autocracy has led to a sense of possibility that has inspired workers and the oppressed classes to rise up against the ruling interests of the region. Yemen, Egypt, Jordan, Tunisia, and Algeria find themselves gripped in battle against vested interests that have wrecked the lives and economies of their nations. They join the global fight against this crisis alongside workers in Europe, Asia, and the Americas.
