I visited Tunisia for the first time in 1993. I visited it again in 2000. I was impressed. Unlike other countries of MENA (the Middle East and North Africa), Tunisia seemed to have all of the ingredients of a nation that was well on its way to creating and sustaining a developed, progressive, and tolerant society. From its independence in 1956 to the late 1980s, that country was run by Al Habib Bourguiba, the enlightened leader of Tunisia’s movement of independence from France and the founder of modern Tunisia.
