Paris/London, Jan 22 (EFE / EPA).- A decade after the revolution in Egypt that overthrew the long-time dictator President Hosni Mubarak, many of those who took part in the 2011 Arab Spring popular protests have gone into exile.

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."

In 2014, when the Islamic State took over the city of Mosul, it used the theater as one of its headquarters. The Mosul artists Union said that the militant group had also stolen most of its furniture, air conditioners, sound system, and other apparatus which they saw useful to them. The Rabei fell victim to airstrikes, then ransacking by looters and more looting by the IS. Some parts of the theater are charred burned and a hole in its roof bears witness to its damages but it did not prevent its first show to go on (Camera: OMAR ALHAYALI)SHOT LIST: THE RABEI 'SPRING' THEATER IN MOSUL, IRAQ.
