Tunisia holds its first festival of peace
LEADIN:
Tunisia is hosting its first ever peace festival.
As part of the event, organisers are hoping to make the world's biggest flag - covered in human hand prints.
STORYLINE:
Children in Tunis scramble to add their hand prints to what's becoming a colourful - and rather large - flag.
It's part of Peace Festival Tunisia, the first event of its kind, which is being marked across the country.
And the flag's significance lies at the heart of the festival's message: that Tunisia is a land of peace and tolerance.
Launched on 27 August in Jendouba, in the north west of the country, the festival is an initiative led by young people from the city.
I don't think that it will establish peace in Tunisia but I think that, without so ambitions, but I think it is really something nice because its spontaneous initiative of young people, says Dimiter Chalev, Head of the UN Human Rights Office in Tunisia.
The festival organisers are encouraging each of Tunisia's 24 governorates to print a flag - 500 metres square in size.
The pieces will then be joined together - to try and win a place in the Guinness Book of Records for the world's largest.
Organisers hope they will be able to beat China, Lebanon and Saudi Arabia who have previously created giant flags featuring hand prints.
The Guinness World Records team will give us a Tunisian record on 21 September, which is World Peace Day, say a confident Moataz Bellah Ouaslati, the festival chair.
It's not all about the flag though.
The festival also features night-time music and dancing.
Lebanese actor, Bassem Wahbi, is in Tunisia to hand over a flaming torch - from a peace festival in Lebanon.
It is an honour for me to take part in this festival because we pray to maintain peace all over the world especially for Arab people, he says.
The peace festival also hopes to raise money for some worthy local causes, Ouaslati explains.
This peace festival, its incomes will be used to finance the creation of the second national centre of drugs prevention and addiction which will be built in Jendouba;
The first national centre opened in 2007, in the south eastern city of Sfax to help young Tunisians cope with addiction and re-integration into society.
The peace festival continues throughout Tunisia until 21 September, closing with a final celebration at the Olympic Stadium in Rades, when organisers will also find out if their flag has won a place in the Guinness records book.

SUMMARY
=======
Tunisia
(officially the Republic of Tunisia)
is a country in northern Africa, covering 165,000 square kilometres (64,000 square miles). Its northernmost point, Cape Angela, is the northernmost point on the African continent. It is bordered by Algeria to the west and southwest, Libya to the southeast, and the Mediterranean Sea to the north and east. Tunisia's population was estimated to be just under 11.93 million in 2016. Tunisia's name is derived from its capital city, Tunis, which is located on its northeast coast.
Geographically, Tunisia contains the eastern end of the Atlas Mountains, and the northern reaches of the Sahara desert. Much of the rest of the country's land is fertile soil. Its 1,300 kilometres (810 miles) of coastline include the African conjunction of the western and eastern parts of the Mediterranean Basin and, by means of the Sicilian Strait and Sardinian Channel, feature the African mainland's second and third nearest points to Europe after Gibraltar.
Tunisia is a unitary semi-presidential representative democratic republic. It is considered to be the only fully democratic sovereign state in the Arab World. It has a high human development index. It has an association agreement with the European Union; is a member of La Francophonie, the Union for the Mediterranean, the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa, the Arab Maghreb Union, the Arab League, the OIC, the Greater Arab Free Trade Area, the Community of Sahel-Saharan States, the African Union, the Non-Aligned Movement, the Group of 77; and has obtained the status of major non-NATO ally of the United States. In addition, Tunisia is also a member state of the United Nations and a state party to the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court. Close relations with Europe – in particular with France and with Italy – have been forged through economic cooperation, privatisation and industrial modernization.
In ancient times, Tunisia was primarily inhabited by Berbers. Phoenician immigration began in the 12th century BC; these immigrants founded Carthage. A major mercantile power and a military rival of the Roman Republic, Carthage was defeated by the Romans in 146 BC. The Romans, who would occupy Tunisia for most of the next eight hundred years, introduced Christianity and left architectural legacies like the El Djem amphitheater. After several attempts starting in 647, the Muslims conquered the whole of Tunisia by 697, followed by the Ottoman Empire between 1534 and 1574. The Ottomans held sway for over three hundred years. The French colonization of Tunisia occurred in 1881. Tunisia gained independence with Habib Bourguiba and declared the Tunisian Republic in 1957. In 2011, the Tunisian Revolution resulted in the overthrow of President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali, followed by parliamentary elections. The country voted for parliament again on 26 October 2014, and for President on 23 November 2014.

SUMMARY
=======
Tunis (Arabic: تونس Tūnis) is the capital and the largest city of Tunisia. The greater metropolitan area of Tunis, often referred to as Grand Tunis, has some 2,700,000 inhabitants.
Situated on a large Mediterranean Sea gulf (the Gulf of Tunis), behind the Lake of Tunis and the port of La Goulette (Ḥalq il-Wād), the city extends along the coastal plain and the hills that surround it. At its core lies its ancient medina, a World Heritage Site. East of the medina through the Sea Gate (also known as the Bab el Bhar and the Porte de France) begins the modern city, or Ville Nouvelle, traversed by the grand Avenue Habib Bourguiba (often referred to by popular press and travel guides as the Tunisian Champs-Élysées), where the colonial-era buildings provide a clear contrast to smaller, older structures. Further east by the sea lie the suburbs of Carthage, La Marsa, and Sidi Bou Said. As the capital city of the country, Tunis is the focus of Tunisian political and administrative life; it is also the centre of the country's commercial and cultural activities. It has two cultural centres, as well as a municipal theatre that is used by international theatre groups and a summer festival, the International Festival of Carthage, which is held in July.
