• Tunisia: "President, Your People are Dying"

  January 21, 2011

  In the first week of 2011, the now defunct Tunisian regime made a series of arrests in an effort to silence online activists critical of former president Ben Ali and his supporters. A young rapper known as "El General" was among those arrested. Most Tunisians agree that it was the internet release of the rapper’s song, “President, Your People Are Dying,” that prompted the arrest of young Hamada Ben Amor.

  "It's dangerous to discount as mere theater what the Republicans do," notes Rebecca Dana of the Daily Beast. She points out that a lot will depend on who controls Congress in 2012--symbolic moves to repeal health care reform will be a lot less symbolic if the Senate is under Republican control as well.
