The day a young Tunisian street vendor set himself – and the Arab world – on fire
Photo illustration: The Globe and Mail. Source: AP Photo. Source photo info: Tunisian protesters demonstrate beneath a poster of slain martyr, Mohamed Bouazizi, near the prime minister's office in Tunis, Friday, Jan. 28, 2011. Tunisia's prime minister has appointed independents to three key posts in the country's new interim Cabinet, removing ministers from the former ruling party in a major concession to demonstrators. Unrest in Tunisia began after Mohamed Bouazizi, a 26-year-old with a university degree, set himself on fire when police in the central town of Sidi Bouzid confiscated the fruit and vegetables he was selling without a permit. He later died in a hospital near Tunis, and his desperate act touched a nerve with educated, unemployed youths nationwide. (AP Photo/Salah Habibi)
