A journalist in Tunisia the first country to face the Arab Spring has set himself on fire, triggering a protest against unemployment and poverty. The case resembles the start of the 2011 Western-hailed revolt.
For our people who have no means of subsistence, today I start a revolution, journalist Abderrazak Zorgui told his audience in the poverty-stricken town of Kasserine.
Calling for people to rise up against poverty and poor living conditions, Zorgui then set himself on fire, invoking the well-known self-immolation of street vendor Mohamed Bouazizi in late 2010.
Zorgui was soon pronounced dead at a local hospital, and his funeral service quickly snowballed into violent protests in Kasserine and other towns.
