La Tunisie et la liberté... De joindre les rangs de l'État islamique.

Au coeur du "printemps arabe", la Tunisie a opté pour une nouvelle constitution qui offre plus de liberté à ses citoyens. On pourrait croire que des élections libres contribueraient à freiner l'élan des factions plus radicales, mais le pays est touché par l'extrémisme. On y prêche le discours de l'État islamique et plusieurs tunisiens ont joint le groupe en Syrie.

 "Although Tunisia’s steps toward democracy have enabled young people to express their dissident views, impatience and skepticism have evidently led a disgruntled minority to embrace the Islamic State’s radically theocratic alternative. Tunisian officials say that at least 2,400 Tunisians have traveled to Syria and Iraq to join the group — other studies say as many as 3,000 — while thousands more have been blocked in the attempt.

“The Islamic State is a true caliphate, a system that is fair and just, where you don’t have to follow somebody’s orders because he is rich or powerful,” said Ahmed, a young supporter of the Islamic State who, like others interviewed, did not want to give his family name for fear of the police. “It is action, not theory, and it will topple the whole game.”
