Tunisia: The only Arab Spring success story that has its democracy in crisis now

Tunisia was known as the only success story of Arab Spring that was first to topple over its long time dictator. But now the same county is facing a democracy crisis, after having a successful decade long run of established democracy. But all the accomplishments are now in jeopardy as a result of political stronghold, corruption and destabilizing economy.

Tunisia has been witnessing withering economy and living standards since many years now. The credit for this goes to politicians who have deviated from giving a purposeful direction to country’s progress. Tunisia has seen many coalition governments come to power in quick succession. But none managed to bring a progressive successful direction to the country but rather what they brought in were new players that used Tunisia’s wealth and resources to their own interests, leading to corruption and increasing public frustration. Since Arab Spring to 2019, Tunisia has witnessed just an increase of 1.8% per year in economy on an average. Terrorist attacks and pandemic has further worsened the GDP.

What has made matters worse bringing the country on verge of yet another civil war is the President Kais Saied, who is claiming to act on behalf of the Tunisians. Kais Saied, a political outsider was elected in 2019 as President by fed-up Tunisians in hope of some long awaited reforms. About two weeks ago, Saied, who had seen enough of mess in Tunisia, fired Prime Minister Hichem Mechichi and suspended Parliament for 30 days. The move was aimed to clean up political mess in the country as Saied announced his war against widespread corruption and granted himself state prosecutor powers.

While opposition powers have called the move by President Saied a coup, Tunisians were seen rejoicing the decision on streets of the capital. The road ahead for Tunisia is still unknown but dangers are imminent as the democratic boundaries are untested as the current political scenario has rendered the country quite vulnerable.

Al Gore has history of climate predictions, statements proven false

Noted climate activist and former Vice President Al Gore, who made headlines this week after he claimed global warming was "boiling the oceans," has a history of making climate-related proclamations later proven to be false. During remarks made Wednesday at the World Economic Forum summit in Davos, Switzerland, Gore warned that continued carbon emissions into the atmosphere would destroy the planet and lead to widespread calamities. "We’re still putting 162 million tons [of greenhouse gas] into it every single day and the accumulated amount is now trapping as much extra heat as would be released by 600,000 Hiroshima-class atomic bombs exploding every single day on the earth," Gore said. "That’s what’s boiling the oceans, creating these atmospheric rivers, and the rain bombs, and sucking the moisture out of the land, and creating the droughts, and melting the ice and raising the sea level, and causing these waves of climate refugees."
