- Football in Tunisia has to be alloted the least money possible. The National team has a wonderful resort in Ain Draham, it's more than enough. No Football trainings abroad anymore, no foreign coaches anymore (if it takes one article in our constitution to state it "black on white" that the national coach must be Tunisian like the President, I'll be among the firsts to vote for it). The bulk of the money being squandered on "luxurious national needs" must be invested on "Spartan Tunisian Intellectual Warriors" who will give their counterparts the hardest of times when it comes to Tunisian interests.
Give me 1 million dinars and I'll give you back 100 young driven Tunisians who will leave Chris, Pat and Johnny trailing way behind. On top of the recipe, extensive language trainings and continuous globe trotting. Our Tunisian youth deserves to play global and win. If only we could bring the best in them!
- Amina Srarfi is a real gem. Anouar Brahem, Zied Gharsa, Riadh Fehri as well.There must be tens of hidden gems. Our Tunisian musical legacy ought to be paid much more passion, talent and funding! A vibrant country must be a cultural powerhouse as well.
- If only I could find a girl like "Elaine Benes a la Tunisienne"...
- Mzali was not a thief and Tunisia would have been a better place had he taken over. For the time being, there's absolutely no use crying over spilt milk.
- The "Slaimsoum" experience was deep and mutual. It makes me even prouder to belong to that tiny but big country in North Africa. Ya3aychek ya Samsoum wbarakkallahou fik 3ala koll chay.
- Poor he who hasn't tasted the bliss of diversity and global citizenship
- I'll try soon to introduce a new concept in blogging, audio posts (so far I haven't read/seen that anywhere in the net) where instead of posting in words, one just records a 1 to 3-minute "vocal message", a very convenient opportunity to blog in the Tunisian dialect ;-) Even comments should be made vocally possible as well!
- Not only were my feet itchy but so was my waist, boy oh boy!
- "Achismou" shouldn't be there by 2009. Tunisia is not Libya, Cuba or Egypt. It's not a kingdom where a bunch of thieves (Have I mentioned that Mzali was not one?) are free to wander around and piss on everybody else. It's high time the elite rolled up its sleeves and started drum-rolling against this sad chapter of our history. Masses have never moved in unless there was an elite behind. It's the nature of nations and Tunisia is no excpetion. My "political mood" these days is best described by
- The key to happiness is not to look for a reason to be happy otherwise...
- My brother Hassen is sitting for the Bac these days, way to go Bro!
- Did I mention that Mzali was a honest man?

i dont understand how you want to shift funding from football to culture, i dont think the FTF budget is more important that dar athaqfa. furthermore, these training abroad are not common like before, they're most local now.
if our musicians want to expand and grow, they need to conquer bigger markets, our market is small for them, and it won't sustain them for too long.
as far as mzali is concerned, i could not care less about his honesty, the only thing i remember is that he made some seriously wrong decisions back in the 80s that affected the majority of the TN population.
BTW, tell us more about the 'Slaimsoum' exsperience, is it the new axis of evil? or the Shepherds Of Good Hope fellowship.
have a nice wekee !
I can't agree with you more. But I still think that Sports is another way to brand our country. We need to find a compromise on how to involve private investment in both sport and culture, banish illegal copy and respect IP and copyrights material. And NO Mzali was not a thief and is by far better then any ploitical figure in the last 20 years. Everybody knows how decisions were made in the 80's and blaming Mzali, is just ignoring reality. Mzali looked at Bourguiba as a spiritual father and that's his big problem, he could not say NO. And He is not a thief!!
Mzali was just a scapegoat; he was the designated person to play the role of the guilty one. History and People do forget the merits easily.
On the other hand, I don’t think it would be possible to reduce the amount of money invested in football, just because it’s the only subject which interests people, and which make them dream and forget about their daily struggle. In Tunisia, football is the opium of the people.
