As I stand in my balcony at night, overlooking a busy highway, I can’t help but give in to my olfactory senses and inhale the soothing scent of jasmine flowers planted nearby. There is a deeper connection to jasmine and the country I am currently in, Tunisia. Other than the fact that jasmine is Tunisia’s national flower, it also symbolizes the Arab Spring or as many Tunisians may refer as the Jasmine Revolution, which took place almost two years ago. A lot has changed in Tunisia since its revolution, maybe a bit more than expected. While many may argue for or encourage to publicize the positive changes after the revolution, I believe it is extremely important to underline the negatives as well.
