Place de la Kasbah in Tunis

It's late afternoon. The kids are playing football in the Place de la Kasbah in Tunis, Tunisia, as the military band brings in the flag of Tunis. Meanwhile the swallows emerge to feast over the ancient Medina. Quite a scene. The Muslim world can be so beautiful. Shot 23 May 2009.

Tunisia: Banned terrorist organization demonstrate on Bouazizi anniversary

Hundreds protested in Kasbah Square in downtown Tunis on Tuesday, marking the third anniversary of Mohamed Bouazizi's self immolation.

Banned religious group Ansar al-Sharia, who were deemed a terrorist organization by the Tunisian government in August, were among the protesters.

Bouazizi, a Tunisian street vendor, set himself on fire 17 December 2010, when police officials confiscated his produce because he did not have a permit. The act sparked protests acting as a catalyst for the Tunisian revolution.

Tunis Travel Guide - Tunisian moment of charm

Tunis Travel Guide - Tunisian moment of charm

Located on the Mediterranean coast but lacking much in the way of beaches, Tunis has been spared the onslaught of package tourism in the resorts to the north and south. In Tunisia's capital, the term 'living history' really does apply. Here, waves of colonisation have endowed the city's fabric and culture with an intoxicatingly rich and complex flavour that becomes apparent wherever you explore.

Take the magnificent medieval medina, sidelined by the French after colonisation but coming into its own in the 21st century, as boutique hotels open and arty cafes lure locals back to the neighbourhoods their grandparents grew up in. And consider the historic settlement of Carthage, once colonised by Phoenicians and Romans but now the province of upwardly mobile locals, whose sophisticated lives play out among the ruins.

In some ways, these developments – and the optimism that is inspiring them – fly in the face of the economic downturn apparent elsewhere in the country. But Tunis has always been a resilient and forward-looking settlement, one that makes an excellent starting point for any exploration of Tunisia. Tunis is divided into the old city, known as the medina, and the new city, or ville nouvelle in French. Ave Habib Bourguiba is the large avenue running through the new city from the clock tower to the Cathedral of St Vincent de Paul. It then turns into Ave de France, which runs for a few blocks until ending at the Place de la Victoire and the Port de France, a large free-standing gate that used to be the entrance to the medina. This can be a good landmark for taxi drivers, as some of the smaller streets nearby aren't sure to be known by name.

The Port de France also serves as a good entry point for exploring the medina. Rue Jemaa Zaytouna leads past lots of shops to the ez-Zaytouna Mosque, the great mosque of Tunis and the center of the medina. Running obliquely to Rue Jemaa Zaytouna, and also with an outlet near the Port de France, is the Rue de la Kasbah. This runs all the way through the medina to the Place du Gouvernment and the Place de la Kasbah, a huge square fringed by razorwire. It is fairly easy to move between the two streets by cutting across the labrynthine medina, and it is easy to keep your bearings and find an exit. Rue Jemaa Zaytouna seemed to be a better entry point from the Port de France at night, remaining relatively well traveled. Rue de la Kasbah, on the other hand, is active after dark on the Place de la Kasbah side, but is extremely dark near the Port de France.

It is recommended to get a feel for the medina during the day so that you will feel more confident if you find yourself and alone and need to find a landmark at night. The Medina is open during Ramadan from 08:00 until 16:00 and on a Sunday around 1/4 of the shops open. If you want to find your way out just head back down Rue Jemaa Zaytouna and you will find your way back to the Port de France.

Egyptians and Tunisians Guard Their Revolutions

(Mosaic Video Alert: February 25, 2011) Press TV reports on the events in Tunisia and Egypt as demonstrators continue to protest in both countries. In Tunisia, tens of thousands of people took to the streets of the capital calling for the resignation of Prime Minister Mohamed Ghannouchi, who took control after the fall of Zine el-Abidine Ben Ali last month. According to police, over 100,000 people gathered, making it the biggest of several protests that have taken place against the transitional government in Tunisia.

In Egypt, thousands of people gathered in Tahrir Square, stepping up pressure on the country's military rulers to meet their demands. Demonstrators urged the military to hand over power to a civilian government and remove all ministers of the previous regime. They say they will continue to protest every Friday until their demands are met.

Tunisia: Protesting teachers call for wage hike, improved conditions

Subscribe to our channel! rupt.ly/subscribe

Thousands of teachers protested on Al Kasbah square, close to the office of Prime Minister Youssef Chahed in Tunis on Wednesday, demanding better working conditions and higher wages, as demonstrations of education workers continue.

As part of their protests in the past two months, the teachers have reportedly boycotted exams nationwide, affecting hundreds of thousands of students. This has led to an association of parents calling for a large protest later this week, to denounce the strife between teachers and the government.

According to reports, the teachers' union has already demanded an increase in salaries and a reduction in the retirement age. However, the government maintains that those demands are difficult to grant due to the budgetary situation in the country.

Kasba 3 : Police violently disperse Protests

A group of about fifty angry protests filled the kasba square in downtown Tunis.
The space where protestors sat in during kasba 1 & 2 was blocked by police with barbed wire barricade. Protestors were pushed into the streets. In the beginning, policemen politely asked protestors to go to the sidewalk and not to obstruct cars from passing.
But as policemen kept pushing protestors further and further away from the kasba, the scene grew chaotic.
But the protestors stood their ground and sat down on the sidewalk refusing to leave.
Tunisia Live contacted the ministry interior spokesperson Hichem Meddeb. He told us that police were only doing their duty to protect the vendors at the kasbah who had complained that protestors were disrupting their business.
The protestors who eventually forced from their sit-in and regrouped further down the road chanting and handing out roses. Police responded chqsing protestors down the steet wielding batons.

De Kasbah vers l'Avenue Bourguiba, vers le ministère de l'intérieur ! - 25 / Février / 2011

Marrakech. Rue de la Kasbah

Entrando dalla porta detta Bab Agnau, l'unica rimasta risalente alla dinastia almohade, si incontra la moschea Moulay El yazid, conosciuta come moschea della Kasbah. Costruita tra il 1185 e il 1190, è la seconda moschea della città dopo la Moschea Koutoubia. Il luogo di culto non è aperto ai non musulmani, ma vale la pena anche solo ammirarlo dall’esterno, dove è visibile il cortile e le fontane per le abluzioni. La facciata presenta il classico colore rosso, mentre il minareto, caratterizzato da un aspetto più moderno, mostra una bella decorazione turchese. Rimane poco dell’antico e originario splendore di questo luogo di culto che più volte è stato sottoposto ad una serie di lavori di restauro che gli hanno dato l’immagine attuale: il minareto, ad esempio, è stato restaurato negli anni '60 (pur attenendosi molto al suo aspetto originale). Nei pressi della moschea, inoltre, si apre uno stretto passaggio che conduce alle Tombe sadiane.

تونس تُعبّر: الصّحافة للأحرار, لا يمين و لا يسار

تجمّع المئات من الصّحفيّين التّونسيّين يوم اللإثنين, 3 مارس, في شوارع العاصمة أمام مقرّ وزارة الدّاخليّة احتجاجا على العنف المسلّط على أصحاب المهنة من طرف قوّات الأمن و الذي يُعْتَبر حدّا من حرّيّة التّعبير.

و قد ندّدت الشّبكة العربيّة لمعلومات حقوق الإنسان بالعنف الجسديّ و اللّفظيّ الذي سلّطته قوّات الأمن على الصّحفيّين اثر تغطيتهم لمظاهرة بالقصبة بالعاصمة تونس يوم الجمعة, 28 فبراير.

الصّحفيّون يُؤكّدون بأنّ تهديدات السّلطات الأمنيّة تُعتبر حدّا كبيرا لحرّيّة التّعبير.

Skander Guetari - Speak out Oh My Tunisia

Extracted from the CD booklet From Kasbah/Tunis to Tahrir Square/Cairo and Back ... The composer and singer Skander Guetari is at home in many places and is open-minded about very styles of music... He has performed in many festivals in recent years I based the song Tkallem ya Tounis on a touching text by Khaled Oueghlani at a point in time when no one could have anticipated what would happen on Friday, 14 January 2011. I wanted the music to sound rebellious, positive and antagonistic, to speak about our anxieties and to honour our martyrs. I wanted this piece to testify to the Tunisian revolution: it was no longer possible to remain silent about the demands of the repressed Tunisians, about all the lies and the manipulation ... Lyrics Khaled Oueghlani - Music Skander Guetari English translation: Pr Tawfik Jelassi Speak out Oh My Tunisia! Oh My Tunisia! Your children are your eyes, the moon and the stars of your nights The love that was born in your heart is burnt by the fire of your madness. Are you forbidden to see your wealth? Or did someone hide it from you? Or did someone push you to burn your children? Speak out Oh My Tunisia! Speak out and tell me about the young people in the country Tell me about your wealth blocked at your door Tell me about those who dream to see you far away from the guns and tyrants Is it your fear that is causing their pain? Or is it the fear that is causing unhappiness? Or is it those who have understood your situation who used it to their advantage? Speak out Oh My Tunisia! All your sons and daughters are the flowers of your soul The dignity that doesn't tolerate treason will never be quiet when you're humiliated The pride that makes the cemeteries closer than your most beautiful castles The soul that in times of humiliation defies the world and always makes sacrifices for you. Speak out Oh My Tunisia! Speak out and don't let silence take away the freedom of your words. Why would you accept that they make your life one of death? Hostage of your stolen wealth Why have the wings of freedom forgotten you? You cry in front of your children And you smile to those who laugh at you! Speak out Oh My Tunisia! تكلّم يا تونس ولادك يا تونس عينيك/// نجومك وقمر لياليك الحبّ اللي تربّى في عزّك/// وحرقتو النار اللي فيك زعمة حْرُمْ عليهم خبزك/// ولاّ الخبز حرم عليك ولاّ فمة شكون يلزّك/// تحرق أكبادك بيديك تكلّم يا تونس يهديك تكلّم واحكيلي على شبابك/// الخير اللي معطّل في بابك العين اللي تتمنّى تشوفك/// بعيدة على مدافع حجّابك زعمة اللي معذبهم، خوفك/// ولاّ الخوف سبب عذابك ولاّ اللي فهمو ظروفك/// زادو م الظلم اللي فيك تكلّم يا تونس يهديك ولادك يا تونس وبناتك/// الورد اللي مفتح في ذاتك العزّ اللي ما يطيق خيانة/// ولا يرضى بذليل سكاتك النخوة اللي تخلّي الجبّانة/// أقرب من خير قصوراتك الروح اللي كي تشوف إهانة/// تعفس ع الدنيا وتفديك تكلّم يا تونس يهديك تكلّم ما تخلّيش سكوتك/// يقضي على حريّة صوتك علاش ترضى يخليو حياتك/// تصويرة تدل على موتك علاش هكة الحريّة نساتك/// رهينة في تركينة قوتك تبكي في وجه وليداتك/// وتضحك للي ضحكو عليك تكلّم يا تونس يهديك

Tunis Travel

Tunis Travel - Located on the Mediterranean coast but lacking much in the way of beaches, Tunis has been spared the onslaught of package tourism in the resorts to the north and south. With a population of less than 700,000 (the greater metropolitan area holds some 2,412,500 inhabitants), the entire city feels small and compact. There isn't much in the way of must-see attractions, but Carthage is easily accessed from here and the souq is one of the most authentic and hassle-free in North Africa.

Orientation
Tunis is divided into the old city, known as the medina, and the new city, or ville nouvelle in French. Ave Habib Bourguiba is the large avenue running through the new city from the clock tower to the Cathedral of St Vincent de Paul. It then turns into Ave de France, which runs for a few blocks until ending at the Place de la Victoire and the Port de France, a large free-standing gate that used to be the entrance to the medina. This can be a good landmark for taxi drivers, as some of the smaller streets nearby aren't sure to be known by the driver.

The Port de France also serves as a good entry point for exploring the medina. Rue Jemaa Zaytouna leads past lots of shops to the Zaytouna Mosque, the great mosque of Tunis and the center of the medina. Running obliquely to Rue Jemaa Zaytouna, and also with an outlet near the Port de France, is the Rue de la Kasbah. This runs all the way through the medina to the Place du Gouvernment and the Place de la Kasbah, a huge bleak square fringed by razorwire. It is fairly easy to move between the two streets by cutting through in the labyrinthine medina, and it is easy to keep your bearings and find an exit. Rue Jemaa Zaytouna seemed to be a better entry point from the Port de France at night, remaining relatively well traveled. Rue de la Kasbah, on the other hand, is active after dark on the Place de la Kasbah side, but is extremely dark and almost scary near the Port de France. It is recommended to get a feel for the medina during the day so that you will feel more confident if you find yourself and alone and need to find a landmark at night.

Enjoy Your Tunis Travel!
