Tunisia mulls reforms after week of unrest
Tunisians shout slogans during an anti-austerity demonstration in Tunis
CNN - Emiratesvoice
A new anti-austerity youth movement -- named Fech Nestannow, which translates as "What are we waiting for?" -- has called for nationwide protests Friday, including a large one in Tunis.
"We are used to social movements being demonized in Tunisia," Henda Chennaoui, a founding member of the movement, told CNN. "The government's tone is just like that of the previous regime. Instead of listening to us, the government is criminalizing us and treating us as if we are vandals and thieves."
Tunisia's 2011 revolution was the first in the region and the North African country is hailed as the success story of the Arab Spring. However, deep economic woes, several terror attacks and a struggle with extremism have slowed recovery.
Dr Lise Storm, senior lecturer in Middle East Politics at the University of Exeter, told CNN that many people were suffering real hardship but that the government had to act.
"What people are protesting about is something that's painful but needs to happen," she said. "Tunisia really needs painful economic reform."

to 'eternal style' of late Alaia
Paris - Emiratesvoice
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opens Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations.
