(MENAFN) It's been about ten years since the self-immolation of Tunisian vendor Mohamed Bouazizi in December of 2010, an act of rebellion that inspired the revolution in Tunisia and led to many other countries rising against their governments, in what later became recognized as the Arab Spring.
The Tunisian democracy is at risk of losing the progress it has made though, due to the dire conditions of the economy, and the presence of social and political difficulties.
"Tunisia has successfully consolidated the democratic transition despite all the economic, social, and political difficulties," Mahdi Mabrouk, director of the Arab Center for Research and Policy Studies declared.
He expressed that Tunisia is going through a normal "stage" that is similar to any other newly founded democracy. "The country has so far witnessed a peaceful transfer of power and the expansion of political participation, in a way that guarantees pluralism while respecting human rights, including the right to organize."
