While perfectly combining modernity and tradition, Tunisia has always been pioneering in its choice of society. These choices have made of Tunisia a model for the Arab world:

  • a remarkable literacy rate countries with the enhancement of education at an early stage of its history,

  • a singular status of women and among the most advanced: first Arab female doctor (in 1936), minister (in 1983), captain (early 1980's), activists of human rights ...

  • a homogeneous population from the point of view of religion and language ensuring that no ethnic divide affects it enhancing thus its unity and solidarity,

  • an educated and informed Tunisian youth that is fond of new information technologies.

Tunisia has all the ingredients to be the dove of freedom of the Arab and Muslim world and to act as a workshop of excellence for a successful democratic transition.
