The Hard Line (Gray Man) by Mark Greaney https://www.amazon.com/Hard-Line-Gray-Man/dp/0593954815 The Gray Man, the world's deadliest assassin and apex predator, discovers he's really the prey in the most shocking entry of this #1 New York Times bestselling series. Family means different things to different people, but in the Gray Man's world, family is defined by blood—the blood you share with some and the blood you shed with others. Court Gentry's current family operates out of an office park in Norfolk, Virginia. The Ghost Town is an off-the-books direct action team run by Matt Hanley, former CIA Deputy Director. They take on the jobs the Agency needs handled “discretely,” and those jobs are rolling in. Somewhere at the top of the US Intelligence apparatus, security experts and intelligence operations worldwide are threatened. It starts with a blown safe house in Tunis. Then Court himself barely escapes from an ambush in the jungles of Nicaragua. Now key members of the U.S. counterintelligence community are being assassinated in their own neighborhoods. With the feds compromised, it's up to Court and his team to stop the hit squads. But eliminating professional kill teams may be the least of the Gray Man's worries when he finds himself targeted by the legendary assassin codenamed Whetstone—a man driven out of retirement by a very personal quest to rain down hellfire on Court and everyone he's ever loved, starting with the father he hasn't seen in twenty years.

In this episode: The consolidation of Muslim control of North Africa; The illuminating legacies of Qayrawan, Tunis and Fez, and the role of the Maghrib region in even greater expansion for Islam, and the shaping of defining moments for the Ummah.

In a remote Egyptian village, a young doctor arrives to open a long-abandoned clinic. Recently released from prison for political dissent, he's been exiled from Cairo to this dusty outpost. As he immerses himself among the myriad ailments of the impoverished villagers, from scorpion stings and boils to the debilitating effects of bilharzia, he is drawn to a young nurse who becomes a trusted companion and provides an emotional refuge from his traumatic past. Farah represents everything the city doctor thinks he wants and offers a chance to rebuild his life. But are her ambitions really in line with his? And if this is love, is redemption certain to follow? In this absorbing novel The Country Doctor's Tale (Syracuse UP, 2026), Qandil weaves together forbidden love, political corruption, and the clash between tradition and desire. The doctor's world expands to include al-Jazya, the queen of a marginalized tribe who sees through his pretensions, and a menacing district chief of police reminding him that no one escapes the reach of authority. Qandil's novel evokes the beauties and cruelties of life in a small community on the edge of the Nile as our doctor's journey takes him through the muddy lanes of the village, the verdant fields of maize, and finally a grim quest in the haunting landscape of the White Desert—all the while struggling with an imperfect moral compass. A conversation with the translator R. Neil Hewison Award-winning Egyptian novelist Mohamed Mansi Qandil worked as a physician before becoming an author and literary critic. He is the author of several short-story collections and novels, including A Cloudy Day on the Western Shore. R. Neil Hewison served as editorial director of the American University in Cairo Press until his retirement in 2017. He has translated works by Egyptian writers Yusuf Idris, Yusuf Abu Rayya, Gamal al-Ghitani, and Naguib Mahfouz. He lives in the village of Tunis in the Fayoum. Learn more about your ad choices.

Nous sommes le 7 juin 1886, à Florence. Un an avant de s'éteindre, se souvenant d'une journée particulière du début des années 1840, quand il n'était qu'une jeune recrue des gouverneurs de Tunis, l'ancien esclave, venu du Caucase, Husayn Ibn Abdallah, devenu dignitaire de l'empire ottoman, écrit à un ami et ancien collègue : « Quand nous eûmes atteint le village de Qal'at al-Andalus, nous trouvâmes la rivière en pleine crue. Il nous fallait traverser cette rivière à cheval. Au milieu du gué, je ne pouvais plus bouger. Il me fallait nager. Une fois la rivière traversée, je restais des heures dans des vêtements mouillés, au point que je ressentais une douleur à mon rein ; une peine dont je souffrirais tout au long de ma vie. » Husayn Ibn Abdallah meurt un an et vingt jours plus tard , six ans après le début de l'occupation, par les troupes françaises, de la Tunisie. La transmission de son patrimoine va provoquer une série de conflits qui vont opposer le sultan ottoman, l'administration française, des juristes européens et des membres des communautés musulmanes et juives, sur les deux rives de la Méditerranée.

AFFEN&Co 399, la Collégiale de l’AFFEN avec Zeyneb ATTYA, Past Président de l’ARFORGHE La 19ème édition du salon HR Expo, La thématique « Management intergénérationnel, inclusion et bien-être. Le thème central de cette année s’est articulé autour du management intergénérationnel, de l'inclusion et du bien-être au travail. L’objectif est clair : impacter et inspirer les différentes générations — des Baby Boomers à la génération Alpha — pour construire une culture d’entreprise fédératrice. Zeyneb ATTYA insiste sur le fait que la performance d’une entreprise repose aujourd’hui sur un leadership inclusif capable de transformer la diversité en richesse collective. L’Intelligence Artificielle : Un Levier d’Inclusion Sociale Bien que l’IA n’ait pas été le thème principal de cette édition, elle a imprégné l’ensemble des panels. L’émission souligne que l’IA ne doit pas être redoutée, mais maîtrisée pour devenir un accélérateur d’inclusion. Par exemple, elle permet de réintégrer des collaborateurs en situation de handicap en compensant certaines limitations physiques par des outils numériques. Les DRH sont ainsi invités à adopter une « créativité enrichie » grâce à l’automatisation. Le Capital Humain Tunisien : Un Atout Stratégique Un point fort de l’émission concerne la valorisation du capital humain en Tunisie. Malgré l’absence de richesses naturelles abondantes, le pays mise sur une jeunesse hautement qualifiée dans le numérique, attirant ainsi les investisseurs internationaux. Le salon a d’ailleurs servi de plateforme pour des recrutements performants, mettant en avant tant les hard skills que les soft skills. Conclusion : Vers un Mentorat Inversé Zeyneb ATTYA prône le développement du mentorat inversé, où les seniors apprennent des plus jeunes pour rester connectés aux nouvelles tendances technologiques. Le message final est une invitation à « apprendre à vivre ensemble » et à faire confiance au capital humain pour garantir la compétitivité des entreprises. — HR Expo, Management intergénérationnel, Inclusion, Zeyneb ATTYA, Ressources Humaines Tunisie, ARFORGHE.

Episode 225: Student Movements and Transnational Connections in Tunisia's 1968 In this podcast, Burleigh Hendrickson discusses his book, Decolonizing 1968: Transnational Student Activism in Tunis, Paris, and Dakar (Ithaca, NY: Cornell University Press, 2022). The book was awarded the French Colonial Historical Society's 2023 Alf Andrew Heggoy Prize for best book published in the preceding year dealing with the French colonial experience from 1815 to the present. Decolonizing 1968 focuses on the postcolonial relationships between France and its former colonies during the global protests of 1968. Combining multi-sited archival research with the oral histories of former activists, his research makes visible the enduring links between France and its ex-colonies at the end of formal empire. Burleigh Hendrickson an Assistant Professor in the department of French & Francophone Studies at Penn State University. A scholar of French Empire and decolonization, his research and teaching apply transnational and comparative approaches to the history of the Francophone world, with emphasis on the Maghreb and West Africa. He is also interested in cultures of protest, knowledge production, and historical claims for human dignity. He is the past recipient of Mellon research and writing fellowships from the Council for European Studies and the Social Science Research Council (IDRF), as well as a Fulbright-Hays Fellowship and the Society for French Historical Studies. More recently, he received a Fulbright U.S. Scholar Award to France to carry out research on his second book project, “Losing Empire: Dignity and Indignation from the Enlightenment to the Arab Spring.” This episode was recorded on the 9th of November, 2023, with Luke Scalone, at the Centre d'Études Maghrébines à Tunis (CEhttps://www.cematmaghrib.org/MAT).

About the Lecture: The Israeli, a novel by veteran journalist Phil Kurata, is set in the years 1947 to 1965, after the end of World War II, when in the Middle East, newly independent countries were shaking off the colonial powers of Britain and France. It reimagines the life of famed spy Eli Cohen. Beginning in Alexandria, Egypt, it transitions to a nascent Israel and then to Syria, where Cohen spies for the Israelis. Steeped in the food and the culture of the Middle East at that formative period, it takes a hard-eyed view of racism and prejudice on both the Israeli and Arab sides. It takes the reader on a deep dive into the intractable and often vicious conflicts that split the region today. About the Speaker: Phillip Kurata is a novelist and former journalist who grew up in Lawrence, Kansas, and earned a bachelor's degree in French literature and a master's degree in Asian Studies from the University of Kansas. He studied at the University of Tunis in the mid-1960s, and—as a fluent French speaker—he returned to Tunisia as a Peace Corps Volunteer and a public health educator. He got into journalism while studying Chinese in Taiwan, writing for the Far Eastern Economic Review. He later worked for United Press International, Agence France Presse and Voice of America in Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Beijing, France, and Washington, DC. Phil served for many years as a writer with the U.S. Department of State, based in Washington, DC. His first novel, The Reluctant Agent, was published by Washington Writers' Publishing House as the Fiction Prize winner. His most recent novel, The Israeli, published in 2024, is a fictionalized story of the legendary Israeli spy, Eli Cohen, and examines the destructive power of ethnic hatred.

In this episode of the US Navy History Podcast, Dale and Christophe discuss the Second Barbary War, highlighting America's bold confrontation with the Barbary States in 1815. The United States, under Commodore Stephen Decanter, refused to continue paying tributes and instead launched a decisive naval campaign against Algiers, Tunis, and Tripoli. This act of defiance ended centuries of European appeasement of state-sponsored piracy in the Mediterranean. The episode delves into the significant battles, the subsequent treaties enforced at gunpoint, and the long-term impacts on American naval doctrine and international relations. It also underscores the human element, celebrating the liberation of hundreds of captives and the broader implications for freedom and maritime safety. Additionally, the podcast honors Second Lieutenant Herman “Chuck” Dresden for his bravery during the Battle of Iwo Jima in World War II.

fWotD Episode 3194: Siege of Utica Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Sunday, 1 February 2026, is Siege of Utica.The siege of Utica took place from 204 to 201 BC when a Roman army under Publius Cornelius Scipio attempted to seize the port to use as a secure base from which to defeat the Carthaginian Empire in its North African homeland. The First Punic War was fought between Carthage and Rome for 23 years, from 264 to 241 BC. After a 23-year interbellum, war broke out again in 218 BC as the Second Punic War. After a further 13 years of war, the Roman general Scipio, who had recently expelled the Carthaginians from Iberia (modern Spain and Portugal), was assigned to Sicily with the intention of invading the Carthaginian homeland in North Africa.Scipio's army landed in North Africa in 204 BC, pillaged a large area and laid siege to the port city of Utica, intending to use it as a permanent base and a harbour proof against the winter weather. Scipio expected the city to surrender readily, but despite being attacked fiercely from land and sea it held out; the garrison and citizens assumed they would be relieved from Carthage. A large Carthaginian army, supported by a larger force of allied Numidians, set up camp 11 kilometres (7 mi) south of Utica. This caused the Romans to break off the siege and withdraw into their own camp for the winter. In the spring, while feigning that he was renewing the siege of Utica, Scipio launched night attacks on the enemy camps, wiping out both armies.The Carthaginian army reassembled 120 kilometres (75 mi) from Utica, but the Romans marched to meet them, leaving the siege largely in the hands of the navy. At the battle of the Great Plains the Carthaginians were again badly beaten. The Roman army marched on Tunis, in time to see the Carthaginian fleet sail from Carthage to relieve Utica. When it arrived, the Carthaginians found that the Roman fleet had adopted a novel formation which they were unable to overcome; they retreated after a day's fighting. Hannibal was then recalled from Italy, and Scipio set out to meet him, again leaving the siege to be prosecuted by the Roman navy. Hannibal's army was annihilated at the battle of Zama and the Carthaginians sued for peace. The Romans enforced harsh terms in the subsequent peace treaty, agreed in 201 BC, although they did leave North Africa, and Utica remained a Carthaginian city.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:20 UTC on Sunday, 1 February 2026.For the full current version of the article, see Siege of Utica on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Bluesky at @wikioftheday.com.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Kevin.

Comment aider les Tunisiennes à devenir propriétaires de leurs terres agricoles ? Elles représentent 80 % de la main-d'œuvre agricole, mais seulement un quart d'entre elles tiennent une exploitation. Pour les aider à se mettre à leur propre compte, ou à acheter leurs terres, ces dernières années, des programmes leur viennent en aide. Grâce à des bailleurs de fonds ou des financements étatiques, elles sont de plus en plus nombreuses à se lancer.  Derrière son stand bien achalandé, Dhekra Ben Salah présente fièrement son huile d'olive. Elle a fait le déplacement depuis le Kef, au nord de la Tunisie, pour faire découvrir son travail à l'occasion d'un événement à Tunis. Le résultat d'un labeur acharné pour cette ingénieure agronome reconvertie à l'agriculture. « J'ai planté dix hectares d'olives de la variété Chetoui », explique-t-elle. C'est grâce à un prêt foncier, « une opportunité que donne l'État pour les ingénieurs agronomes », qu'elle a pu se lancer. Un prêt sur 25 ans avec un taux d'intérêt à 3 %, une aubaine pour elle qui a toujours voulu revenir sur sa terre natale après des années passées à l'étranger. Malgré ce coup de pouce, les difficultés restent nombreuses, notamment pour « la vente en ligne, la visibilité ou le financement. Par exemple, pour exporter un produit, il faut avoir certaines certifications, telles que le bio qui coûte au minimum 4 000 dinars par an ». Des collectifs pour s'entraider Cela représente un budget considérable pour ces agricultrices-entrepreneuses qui partent souvent de rien. Comme Meriem Majdi, qui tient un collectif d'agricultrices à Sidi Bouzid, au centre-ouest tunisien. « Au début, on n'avait pas grand-chose, à part le savoir-faire lié au bois d'olivier », raconte-t-elle tout en se prenant en photo avec des représentants étrangers sur son stand. « On s'est organisées à plusieurs pour s'entraider et aussi créer plusieurs produits de la région. On a participé à des formations et on a réussi à se rendre plus visibles. Et après une visite organisée par l'Organisation internationale du travail en Afrique, on a commencé à participer à des foires africaines et maintenant, nous avons un réseau. » Aujourd'hui, avec trente femmes de la région, Meriem Majdi exporte de l'huile d'olive et du bois d'olivier vers la Côte d'Ivoire et le Kenya. Cette constitution en collectif leur permet aussi de sortir du travail informel et de constituer des entreprises durables. Un élan important pour ces femmes qui représentent près de 50 % de la population rurale active. À lire aussiEn Tunisie, les femmes apportent un nouveau souffle au secteur de l'olive

Hear about travel to Tunis, Tunisia, as the Amateur Traveler talks to Jeff Ohlfs about his recent visit to this arid Arab country in North Africa. Why should you go to Tunis? Jeff says, "I don't think a lot of people think too much about traveling to Tunisia. It's an incredible country, friendly people. It's an Arab country. And all that goes with it, and it's reasonably inexpensive, and it's just right there off the boot of Italy." ... https://amateurtraveler.com/travel-to-tunis-tunisia/ Learn more about your ad choices.

Quitter son pays pour s'inventer, ailleurs, une vie meilleure : c'est une histoire aussi vieille que l'humanité. Qui, selon les périodes, peut susciter rejet et crispations identitaires. Cette histoire, on la connaît bien en Occident. Mais si l'on parle souvent de ceux qui traversent la Méditerranée pour venir en Europe, que sait-on des migrations sur le sol africain ?

Episode 223: Ottoman Continuities and the Development of Modern Education in Tunisia This project traces the changing role of Ottomanism in relation to the emergence of modern educational institutions in Tunis. The development of the Tunisian education system demonstrated continuous Ottoman links, despite colonial co-optation over time. The social milieus formed in modern educational spaces facilitated ties to the Ottoman Empire. In short, this is a regional history rooted in a single city, which challenges colonial and nationalist historiographies. Over time, modern education led to a democratization in forms of belonging to the Ottoman Empire. It was no longer only court elites who had access to other statesmen, but rather those educated in the new schools who negotiated changing notions of being Ottoman in Tunis.  The first school aimed at modernizing education was founded in 1840: the Bardo Military Academy. This school created a modernized army, including a modernized Mamluk class, whose members would shape education reform later as well. Those educated there formed an inner circle of reformists around Khayreddine Pasha (though he himself was not a Bardo graduate). Here, Mamluks, as well as local Arabs, were educated in a way that emphasized bodily discipline, modern sciences, and European languages. This school was modeled on European military schools, but retained a distinctively Ottoman shape, just like its parallel institution in Istanbul. It was a product of the reforms of Ahmed Bey and, further, was clearly influenced by ideas from modernizing reforms like the Nizam-i Cedid and the Tanzimat. By 1875, the new Mamluk class played a key role in founding the Sadiki School. This institution, though later co-opted by French colonial interests, represented a distinctly Tunisian-Ottoman mode of modern education from the outset. The short-lived Ottoman language program at Sadiki represented an early democratization of the language outside of the Beylical Palace. More importantly, as a result of Sadikian education, French became a language of cross border communication between Arabs and Turks as well. When the first generation of Sadikians grew up, they became the nucleus of the Young Tunisian Party, modelled on the Young Turk Party. Beyond the walls of official schools, Sadikians generated a great deal of educational opportunities through two main institutions: first, the Khaldounia, an institution that aimed to teach modern subjects to Zaytounians.; and second, the Sadiki Alumni Association, which hosted many lectures and extracurricular activities outside of the tight control of the French colonial cultural project. In these spaces, Pan-Islamist ideas flourished. Even as ethnic difference between Turks and Arabs became a cornerstone of colonial propaganda in the 1910s, many of those educated in these spaces maintained the notion that Turks and Arabs were brothers sharing a common cause. Education was further a gendered issue, and one that became tied to moral questions articulated in an Ottoman-Islamic idiom. The first Franco-Arabic school for girls, located on Rue du Pacha, was founded in 1900. It featured a curriculum modelled largely on the Sadiki School, though moderated to produce mothers rather than civil servants. Though run by the wife of a French colonial official, this school and schools like it which followed were far from purely colonial institutions. In conferences and in the press, Tunisians emphasized the importance of educating girls, arguing that it was a religious matter. The education of girls became a matter of preserving an Umma that was rapidly changing shape as the Ottoman Empire came to an end over the early decades of the twentieth century.  Between 1840 and 1923, various educational institutions played key roles in renegotiating what Ottoman belonging meant in Tunis. Despite French colonial rule extending through most of this timeline, many Tunisians maintained a sense of being part of the Ottoman Empire. Initially the domain of statesmen, being Ottoman gradually became a more accessible identity to broader swaths of Tunisians because of changes to the education system.  Erin Kelleher is a Ph.D. candidate at the University of Texas at Austin in the Department of Middle Eastern Studies. Focusing on social and cultural history, her work looks at on the relationship between Ottomanism and education reform in Tunisia from the mid-nineteenth century into the early twentieth century. She spent the 2024-2025 academic year as an AIMS fellow based in Tunis, Tunisia. Previously, she spent a year in Meknes, Morocco as a CASA fellow and spent several summers studying Modern and Ottoman Turkish in Istanbul. She holds an MA in Near Eastern Languages and Civilization from the University of Washington. This podcast was recorded on the 7th of May 2025 at the Centre d'Études Maghrébines à Tunis (CEMAT) with the historian Luke Scalone.

Ils s'appellent Aminata, Junior, Tidiane, Abdoulaye ou Khalil : ces adolescents ont quitté leur famille, leur pays, Guinée, Algérie ou Côte d'Ivoire, dans l'espoir d'une vie meilleure, en l'occurrence, en France. Et finalement, tout va bien. Tout va bien, c'est le titre d'un documentaire qui vient de sortir en salles en France. Thomas Ellis en est le réalisateur. Il en parle, en compagnie de Junior Tano, l'un des protagonistes, qui a quitté la Côte d'Ivoire quand il avait quinze ans avec le rêve de devenir joueur de football professionnel. Thomas Ellis filme leur intégration en France, entre espoirs, difficultés et insertion professionnelle dans ce documentaire intitulé Tout va bien, qui a reçu le patronage du ministère de l'Éducation nationale. À l'affiche de notre cinéma ce samedi également, le journal du cinéma d'Élisabeth Lequeret et un reportage de notre correspondante à Tunis sur la restauration du film de Nouri Bouzid, L'homme de cendres (sorti en 1986). Musiques : Survivor de Charlotte Dipanda et Davido (Playlist Rfi) et Femme Peinture de Il est vilaine et Simone Ringer.

En Tunisie, les anciennes pâtisseries du centre-ville ont gardé leur enseigne et leurs spécialités depuis plus d'un demi-siècle sans jamais changer leurs murs. Elles représentent une mémoire urbaine, mais aussi la nostalgie du centre-ville de Tunis au milieu du siècle, lieu de brassages de plusieurs communautés : italiennes, maltaises, françaises, juives et musulmanes. Dans l'arrière-boutique de sa pâtisserie, Jean Garza, propriétaire des lieux, montre fièrement les héritages de son grand-père. Un frigo des années 1920, une balance des années 1930, les lieux n'ont pas bougé d'un pouce dans cette pâtisserie emblématique du centre-ville de Tunis.  « Elle a été fondée dans les années 1930, effectivement, par mon grand-père, Luigi, qui est venu d'Italie, qui s'est installé en Tunisie, et qui a commencé à travailler, à ramener les spécialités italiennes ici, fabriquées et confectionnées avec une cuisson spéciale, la cuisson au feu de bois, au bois d'olivier », raconte Jean. Les recettes sont celles du grand-père Luigi, des pâtisseries traditionnelles pur beurre. « On a des spécialités à base d'amandes, de génoise, de pâte d'amande qui n'est pas de la pâte à sucre, mais aussi des spécialités qui sont à nous, comme la meringue italienne, un blanc d'œuf monté au sucre chaud, c'est un produit qu'on ne retrouve plus ailleurs », explique Jean. Un marketing sur les réseaux sociaux Autre spécialité, des sablés avec un cœur de confiture appelés les « puits d'amour ». Jun, le fils de Jean, Japonais également par sa mère, en a fait la star de sa page Instagram. Créateur de contenu, il vend l'image de la pâtisserie à travers les anecdotes de son histoire ancestrale. « Pendant la Deuxième Guerre mondiale, il y a une petite bombe qui a atterri à la pâtisserie, qui est tombée en plein milieu de la pâtisserie, mais qui n'a pas explosé. C'est pour ça qu'aujourd'hui on est encore là-bas, ça fait partie de l'histoire et de la nostalgie », révèle Jun.  Pour lui, le marketing digital est essentiel pour préserver la pérennité de la pâtisserie qui a dû s'accommoder des pénuries à répétition de beurre et de sucre ces dernières années dans le pays. « On s'adapte comme on peut », explique Jun, « on mise sur la qualité même si parfois les matières premières manquent. C'est pour cela que si tous les gâteaux sont partis à 10 h du matin, on en refait pas, l'idée est de garder cette qualité quoi qu'il arrive », insiste l'influenceur. Il faut aussi veiller à renouveler la clientèle, aller vers les plus jeunes aussi, d'où la présence sur les réseaux sociaux. « Ce nouveau marketing, le marketing digital et d'influence, a permis de nous faire connaître à une nouvelle population, mais le but c'est pas uniquement de nous faire connaître, c'est qu'ils viennent, qu'ils goûtent, et surtout qu'ils reviennent », ajoute Jun. « C'est depuis des générations qu'on y va » Une nostalgie qui fonctionne depuis des générations au sein de la clientèle qui se presse devant la devanture de la boutique, très simple en apparence. Les gâteaux ne sont d'ailleurs pas exposés derrière la vitre mais à l'intérieur, sur le comptoir. Hamadi Baccar, 35 ans, est un habitué. Il est venu se joindre à la file d'attente dès 8 h du matin. « C'est de père en fils en fait, c'est depuis des générations qu'on y va, on l'a toujours recommandé. Déjà quand tu entres dans la boutique, tu ressens les saveurs d'antan. Je continue d'y venir parce que j'ai aussi l'impression d'honorer les traditions de mes parents et puis c'est l'âme du centre-ville ici », précise-t-il. À quelques encablures, au Passage, la station des tramways qui desservent le centre-ville, Houssem Bahar, 29 ans, tient la pâtisserie juive El Naouri, fondée en 1949. « J'ai grandi ici, c'est une part de moi et de ma famille. Du coup, tout ce que vous voyez ici, c'est un mix de toutes les communautés qui vivaient ici en Tunisie », explique-t-il. Ici, les passants viennent déguster une citronnade sur le pouce, et des gâteaux secs, comme le biscuit boulou, hérité des juifs livournais, ou encore la gizata, douceur aux amandes. Le lieu est aussi connu pour ses macarons aux amandes, ses ghraïba, des gâteaux à base de pois chiche. Un brassage culturel en bouche, qui, comme à la pâtisserie Garza, témoigne du patrimoine historique du centre-ville de Tunis, mais aussi d'une ancienne topographie urbaine. Des pâtisseries variées, témoignages du brassage des communautés à Tunis « Avant, la pâtisserie Garza et d'autres se trouvaient au milieu d'un quartier de bars populaires du centre-ville, explique Hatem Bourial, journaliste culturel et passionné de patrimoine. Ils avaient principalement la fonction de limonadier. Puis, avec le temps, ils ont ajouté la pâtisserie et sont venus complémenter l'offre culinaire du centre-ville, avec à deux pas les kafteji et lablabi, mets de street food tunisiens, plus tenus par des Tunisiens musulmans. C'est comme s'il y avait toujours eu une répartition implicite des rôles, mais sans distinction religieuse ou communautaire. » La présence de ces pâtisseries témoigne aussi de la migration des différentes communautés qui cohabitaient à Tunis pendant le protectorat français. « La permanence de ces enseignes permet de se souvenir que les communautés se trouvaient intra-muros dans la médina de Tunis et que peu à peu, elles ont débordé sur le centre-ville européen, en apportant leurs manières d'être, leur art de vivre, leur façon de partager et d'être dans la convivialité », ajoute Hatem Bourial.  Ce patrimoine, Jun et Houssem tentent de le préserver en prenant déjà la relève, « même si ce n'est pas toujours facile, explique Houssem Bahar de la pâtisserie Naouri. Je suis arrivé sans rien connaître à la pâtisserie ou à la vente, j'ai dû me former, m'acclimater et m'adapter. » Pour Jun, reprendre le flambeau revient aussi à entretenir cette nostalgie « un peu fragile mais qui donne un goût particulier à nos pâtisseries », conclut-il.  Les deux pâtisseries se démarquent des autres avec des prix très accessibles pour le budget moyen des Tunisiens et surtout, leurs gâteaux intangibles, avec des recettes qui n'ont jamais changé depuis plus d'un demi-siècle.  À lire aussiTunisie: les femmes à l'avant-garde de la pâtisserie

Inspireret af sin tid i Fremmedlegionen i Nordafrika rejste danske Daniel Bruun i 1893 til det sydlige Tunis. På hest og med en pistol i buksekanten red han ud i ørkenen, hvor han drømte om at studere det berbiske Matmata-folk; også kendt som Huleboerne. Daniel var hårdt ramt af sin tid i krig i Nordafrika. Han var hærget af ptsd, angst og rastløshed og havde svært ved at finde sig til rette i livet. Nu vendte han retur til regionen for at få et andet blik på kulturen.  Lykkedes det Daniel Bruun at møde disse spændende huleboere? Og lykkedes det ham at finde sig selv?  Medvirkende: Jesper Kurt Nielsen, historiker, forfatter og museumsinspektør på Nationalmuseet. Jesper er en stor kender af dansk ekspeditionshistorie. Han var redaktør på museets trebindsværk om Dansk Ekspeditionshistorie, hvori, han skrev om netop Daniel Bruun.Vært: Bjørn Harvig, tilrettelæggelse og lyddesign Nikolai Sørensen, redaktør Troels Donnerborg.

Vor 15 Jahren verbrannte der tunesische Gemüsehändler Mohamed Bouazizi sich selbst und löste damit eine Revolution aus. Es war der Auftakt zum „Arabischen Frühling“ und damit der Protest gegen die staatliche Willkür und Korruption nicht nur in Tunesien. Auch Ägypten stimmte mit ein, stürzte die Diktatur im Land - getragen von der Hoffnung auf Veränderung. In dieser Zeit brachen alte Tabus, ein neues Bewusstsein entwickelte sich und die Zivilgesellschaft wurde gestärkt. Doch was aus westlicher Perspektive als demokratischer Hoffnungsschimmer begann, endete ernüchternd. Statt Stabilität gewannen in der Region alte und neue autoritäre Mächte die Kontrolle, während wirtschaftliche und soziale Probleme geblieben sind - genau wie die Frustration. Die Bilanz des Arabischen Frühlings bleibt somit ambivalent. Und diese zieht der Tag, moderiert von Hadija Haruna-Oelker zusammen mit der freien Korrespondentin Sarah Mersch aus Tunis, der Büroleiterin der Heinrich-Böll-Stiftung in Tunis Julia Bartmann, der Deutsch-Ägypterin Gina Seidel-Girgis und Jannis Grimm vom Zentrum für interdisziplinäre Friedens- und Konfliktforschung.

The_Tunis_Terror

For decades Western policymakers have struggled to understand the mindset of the Russian people and their leaders. This episode of The Transatlantic brings together two Russia experts who provide unique perspectives into the challenges American leaders often face when negotiating with Russian officials. Join James Collins, former Ambassador to Russia, and Wayne Merry, the officer in Embassy Moscow who authored a 1993 dissent cable predicting the adversarial turn of post-Soviet Russia, for a wide-ranging conversation about their combined decades inside Russia, a look inside the Vladimir Putin's world, and their thoughts on what will determine the future of Russia. -- Read E. Wayne Merry's Dissent Cable here: https://nsarchive.gwu.edu/document/32704-document-1-wayne-merry-dissent-channel-cable-american-embassy-moscow -- Ambassador James F. Collins is an expert on the former Soviet Union, its successor states, and the Middle East. Ambassador Collins was the U.S. ambassador to the Russian Federation from 1997 to 2001. Prior to joining the Carnegie Endowment, he served as senior adviser at the public law and policy practice group Akin, Gump, Strauss, Hauer & Feld, LLP. Before his appointment as Ambassador to Russia, he served as Ambassador-at-Large and Special Adviser to the Secretary of State for the newly independent states in the mid-1990s and as Deputy Chief of Mission and Chargé d'affaires at the U.S. embassy in Moscow from 1990 to 1993. In addition to three diplomatic postings in Moscow, he held positions at the U.S. embassy in Amman, Jordan, and the consulate general in Izmir, Turkey. He is the recipient of the Secretary of State's Award for Distinguished Service; the Department of State's Distinguished Honor Award; the Secretary of State's Award for Career Achievement; the Department of Defense Medal for Distinguished Public Service; and the NASA Medal for Distinguished Service. Before joining the State Department, Ambassador Collins taught Russian and European history, American government, and economics at the U.S. Naval Academy. -- E. Wayne Merry is Senior Fellow for Europe and Eurasia at the American Foreign Policy Council in Washington, DC.

durée : 00:06:16 - Grand Reportage - par : Aurélie Kieffer - Depuis le coup d'État constitutionnel de Kaïs Saïed du 21 juillet 2021, la justice tunisienne s'est transformée en outil de répression pour faire taire toute opposition. À Tunis, des parodies de procès sont mises en scène. - réalisation : Annie Brault

En Tunisie, coup dur pour l'opposition après l'arrestation jeudi du vétéran de la politique Ahmed Nejib Chebbi, 82 ans condamné à 12 ans de prison dans le mega procès du complot contre la sûreté de l'état. Malgré cette arrestation qui s'ajoute à celle de deux autres opposants dans le même procès, les jeunes militants de la société civile continuent de mener le combat dans la rue. Une manifestation sous le slogan "l'opposition n'est pas un crime" s'est tenue à Tunis ce samedi.

C'est à la Une du Journal de Kinshasa : « La RDC et le Rwanda tournent la page des tensions. Le jeudi 4 décembre 2025 restera gravé dans l'histoire de la région des Grands Lacs ». Sans évoquer l'ambiance, glaciale, de cette rencontre, le Journal de Kinshasa revient sur les principales déclarations des deux présidents. Tout d'abord le chef de l'État rwandais : Paul Kagame a estimé que la feuille de route signée hier « est la plus claire et la plus précieuse que nous ayons jamais eue ». Il a aussi remercié Donald Trump, alors que Félix Tshisekedi de son côté, « qualifiait les Accords de Washington de tournant historique ». Quant au président américain Donald Trump, il a insisté sur « la rapidité du processus » qu'il a lui-même initié… Les accords sont signés mais sur le terrain, rien n'est réglé. Pourtant, le Journal de Kinshasa se veut optimiste, estimant que la signature de ces accords « marque le début d'une dynamique nouvelle, orientée vers la stabilité, la coopération économique et la prospérité partagée ». Africanews qui s'est rendu à Goma, la capitale du Nord-Kivu a pu constater que ce sommet « faisait naître un mélange d'espoir et de scepticisme ». « Le sentiment général, ajoute Africanews, est résumé par un habitant de Goma qui affirme : "ils disent être dans un processus de paix et après nous apprenons que la guerre reprend. Cela nous fait mal et nous sommes très inquiets" ».  Exaspération Les Somaliens sont en colère. C'est Afrik.com, qui nous dit que « que la Somalie est indignée par les propos ouvertement racistes de Donald Trump ». Récemment, le président américain « s'est violemment attaqué aux immigrés somaliens vivant aux États-Unis, les qualifiant "d'ordures" indésirables, ne faisant rien d'autre que de se plaindre ». « Dans la capitale somalienne », raconte Afrik.com, « l'indignation est générale. Habitants et membres de la société civile peinent à croire à la violence du discours présidentiel américain et s'inquiètent du climat de stigmatisation croissant ». Mais ce n'est pas le seul point que souligne le site d'information panafricain. Car « au-delà de la colère contre Donald Trump, plusieurs voix dénoncent l'absence de réaction des autorités somaliennes ».  L'une des personnes interviewées par Afrik.com, exprime ainsi « son exaspération » : « Trump insulte quotidiennement les Somaliens, nous traitant d'ordures et utilisant d'autres termes péjoratifs que nous ne pouvons plus tolérer. Nos dirigeants auraient dû réagir à ses propos. » Nouvelle arrestation En Tunisie, l'une des dernières figures de l'opposition encore en liberté, Ahmed Nejib Chebbi, président du Front du Salut National, a été arrêté hier. Tunisie Webdo précise qu'il a été arrêté, « en exécution du jugement définitif prononcé à son encontre dans l'affaire dite "du complot contre la sûreté de l'État" ». Il a été « interpellé à son domicile pour purger une peine de 12 ans de prison ». Tunisie Webdo en profite pour annoncer demain, « une grande marche pour "dénoncer l'injustice" qui sera organisée à Tunis ». Le parti Al Joumhouri, fondé par Ahmed Nejib Chebbi, souligne qu'avant lui, d'autres personnalités proches de l'opposition ont récemment été arrêtées. Il parle ainsi de « l'enlèvement de la militante Chaima Issa, puis de l'arrestation de l'avocat Ayachi Hammami, cette semaine ». Pour Al Joumhouri, ces arrestations « de responsables politiques, de militants, de journalistes et de blogueurs » visent ni plus ni moins, « à fermer l'espace public et à réduire au silence les voix critiques ».

Curator of "Niyū Yūrk: Middle Eastern and North African Lives in the City", Hiba Abid, joins us to talk about the exhibition, housed at the New York Public Library's iconic 42nd Street building, which challenges dominant narratives by presenting New York as a city deeply intertwined with Middle Eastern and North African history and culture. Abid delves into the diverse stories of immigration, the often-overlooked North African presence, and the revolution in Arabic publishing in New York. Through fascinating primary documents and personal stories, the discussion explores everything from the surprising origins of the Statue of Liberty to early 20th-century American citizenship guides published in Arabic, revealing the long, complex, and vibrant history of Arab and Middle Eastern communities in New York. The exhibition remains until March 8, 2026. On December 5, is a Middle Eastern/North African take over of the flagship building of the NYPL that's not to be missed
