Tunisia’s president appears eleven times in this single banner, an appropriate metaphor for his seemingly perpetual term of office. The country’s first president, Habib Bourguiba, won Tunisia’s independence from France in 1956, set up a strict one party state, and dominated the country for 31 years. Bourguiba was removed from office in a bloodless coup in November, 1987 and replaced by the man on this banner, Zine el Abidine Ben Ali. He was "re-elected" the year after my visit (2009), and driven into exile by a bloody revolt in January, 2011. I layer the image with a metal fence, an icon that speaks for itself as it adds context to the banner.
