Famous British magazine “The Economist” has elected Tunisia as “Country of the Year.”
“Our winner is a much smaller nation, but we think symbolism matters more than size. The idealism engendered by the Arab spring has mostly sunk in bloodshed and extremism, with a shining exception: Tunisia, which in 2014 adopted a new, enlightened constitution and held both parliamentary and presidential polls (a run-off is due in the latter on December 21st),” explained The Economist.
Tunisia’s pragmatism and moderation have nurtured hope in a wretched region and a troubled world, it added, concluding the article with a touching expression which is Mabrouk Tunisia!
