Cairo (Egypt), Jan 29 (EFE), (Camera: Isaac J. Martín).- The Egyptian-Lebanese artist Bahia Shehab burst into tears while remembering when he was free to paint in the streets of Cairo for the first time. It was in the middle of the revolution. Only a few traces of that graffiti remain on the walls in the centre of the Egyptian capital, which ten years ago was the scene of an artistic explosion after the uprising of January 25, 2011.FOOTAGE OF GRAFFITI, DANCE STUDIO AND ART STUDIO IN CAIRO.
Tunis, 13 Jan (EFE), (Camera: Natalia Román Morte).- Diez years after the Tunisian dictator Zine al-Abidine Ben Ali fled to Saudi Arabia, a democratic transition that never arrives has caused disappointment among many. The Free Destourian Party (PDL), which clearly supports the old regime, leads this disappointment and some surveys show it as the winner in the next country's elections with 37% of the votes.FOOTAGE OF TUNIS. SOUNDBITES OF:-MOHAMED ASSAAD DRIDI, VOTER OF THE FREE DESTOURIAN PARTY (PDL):"It was not a revolution, It was a plan previously orchestrated and, when the events of Kasserine and Sidi Bouzid took place, they activated it. It was a plan orchestrated from the outside. The young people, as always, take to the streets when there is a problem. The politicians were implicated and earned money with it. We saw how Ben Ali was kidnapped he did not flee. " -SELIM KHARRAT, POLITICAL ANALYST:"It is a very complicated and tense socio-economic context, which represents the main danger for the democratic transition. Why? Because it makes that many Tunisians do not believe in the direction we took 10 years ago and who do not see the fruits of this political change."
Two years after Tunisian revolutionaries succeeded in bringing about regime change, many in the birthplace of the uprising are now wondering whether the bloody struggle was worth it. Also, the leader that they ousted may be gone but he is far from forgotten. Tunisian officials are still doing what they can to get their hands on the exiled Zine al-Abidine Ben Ali.
