Essebsi: Tunisian spring was only Arab Spring success

Tunisian President Beji Caid Essebsi has said the only Arab Spring uprising to succeed was the Tunisian revolution, speaking exclusively with Al Arabiya News channel.


In an interview with Al-Arabiya’s General Manager Turki Aldakhil, Essebsi spoke of the country's domestic affairs and relations with foreign countries, as well as touching on his personal life describing his favorite poetry and music.

He said that although he did not participate in the revolution at the time as he “was home”, he still “achieved results that no one else managed to achieve and prevented bloodshed”.

“Proof of that is Tunisia is standing on its feet today," the president added.

Essebsi also commented on the use of the term “Arab Spring”. He said: “The word ‘Arab Spring’ is imported from the West.

I said there is no Arab Spring but the beginning of a Tunisian spring. We in Tunisia are qualified to have an Arab Spring because we have a democratic system.”
