The Arab world is on fire.It all started in Tunisia where a graduate who had been denied to sell veges and fruits set himself on fire.Ben Ali had to run but not before stealing 1.5 tons of gold....This was followed by another self immolation act in Egypt,Mauritania,Algeria and now,Sudanese opposition leader Al-Turabi has called for an uprising in Sudan to overthrow Al-Bashir.The government responded by arresting him and things are very tense....What's happening?
Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.

... Banque Centrale de Tunisie denies this. If it's true though, his golden parachute is USD 72,038,248.70.

Someone call the prime-minister....I think Gbagbo would accept a similar deal!

how do u carry 1.5 tons of gold with the whole country on the lookout for u?
But Tunisia is vry scary for the Arab world, that hawker knows dot what he started...a potential revolution across the arab world. Chances are good they are going to make him a hero of the 2nd liberation of Tunisia.
Hope our Mpigs are taking notes and realise popular anger that toppled tunisia is brought about by tu behaviours like withdrawing from ICC, trying to set up funny local tribunals to try pev suspects, extra-judicial killings, high-level graft (was also a reason in tunisia...
