Ben Ali, the leader of the old tunisian regime is just gone and now the new interim government announced that it is going to dissolve its secret police.
A step which will be very welcomed by human rights activists.
I've never been in Tunisia but in Morocco where also a secret police exists and I can't forget how scared this people are to say anything against any political person or in morocco, the king.
Not being able to express your meaning must be awful as it is a need of us humans to say what we think and feel. In countries like Tunisia people are even scared to talk about politics with the people who are closest to them as they never know who they can trust.
Reminds me also of the German democratic Republic, where even husbands and wives didn't trust eachother. Honestly we should all ask ourself how our life would be without being able to trust the closest of people around us like our partners or children. If we can't trust even them, then to whom else would we be able to trust?
