"A commentator for the pro-Saudi Al-Mustaqbal newspaper wrote on the
15th of October an article showering praise on Ben Ali’s great
achievements in almost all fields, and he referred to his wife’s Layla Tarabolsi
role as proof Tunisian women’s “pioneer
role”.
Exactly 30 days later, the same author wrote a front page commentary on Ben Ali,
citing that the latter thought of himself “a semi-God capable of reducing Tunis
to his own self and his wife’s family and … become a president
for life”." (thanks Rudy)
