Extractions: History: Tunisia was ruled by a hereditary monarchy until the French made the country a protectorate in 1883. Nationalist pressure for independence began in 1934 with the formation of the Néo-Destour (New Constitution) Party (NDP) under the leadership of Habib Bourguiba. Internal self-government was granted in 1955; independence as a constitutional monarchy under the Bey of Tunis came a year later. In 1957, the Bey was overthrown and a republic proclaimed, with Bourguiba as President. Despite independence, the French insisted on holding onto a naval base at Bizerta on the northern coast, but lost it in 1963 after a naval blockade by the Tunisians and several months of heavy fighting. The ruling Parti Socialiste Destourien (renamed Rassemblement Constitutionel Démocratique in 1988), successor to the NDP, has maintained a strong grip. Bourguiba pursued unsuccessful socialist policies in the early part of his regime, but in the 1970s opened the economy up to foreign investment and allowed the development of a private sector. By the crude measure of per capita domestic income, the lot of the Tunisians greatly improved during this second phase. At the time of his fall from power in November 1987, Bourguiba had been in control for 30 years, at first through elections to the single party, and after 1975 as President-for-Life. Following a pronouncement by his own team of doctors that Bourguiba was no longer of sound mind, Prime Minister Zine El Abidine Ben Ali assumed the presidency unopposed. Despite its relatively small size, Tunisia has played a consistently important diplomatic role in the region.

Found in the area of Gafsa, northwestern Tunisia, it is one of a myriad of artifacts and vestiges, some strangely carved and faceted, testifying to man's early presence in Tunisia that are exposed in the Bardo's fine Prehistoric collection. We can date the end of the prehistoric era with the arrival of the Phoenicians around 1000 BC. expressed and exhibited in the hundreds of mosaics adorning the walls and floor of the Bardo. Gathered from countless ancient sites these priceless images bear witness to the wealth and prosperity of Roman Tunisia, its gods and goddesses, myths and realities, day to day activities and exuberant festivities.

Extractions: by Alexander Rosenzweig Tunisia is the easternmost of the three Arab states that constitute the Maghreb, the westernmost region of the Muslim world, the other two being Algeria and Morocco. Its land mass is equivalent to that of England and Wales, but its population is only six million souls who live mainly along the 800 miles of Mediterranean coastal plain. It was the seat of the Carthaginian civilisation which extended over a period of 700 years, and was followed by a long period of Roman rule, but by the ninth century became Muslim. From literary and archaeological sources, evidence has been gathered of a rich Jewish communal life going back some 2,300 years. Tunisia is mentioned in a number of places in the Talmud and in the works of Josephus, who testified to the transportation from the Land of Israel of 30,000 Jews to Tunisia by the Romans under the Emperor Titus. Near the ruined city of Carthage lies a site known as Garmath, where excavations have revealed a third-century CE Jewish cemetery. At a place called Hamman Lif the remains of a well-preserved third-century CE synagogue have been discovered containing a mosaic displaying the words Sancta Sinagoga. Under the Roman Emperors Vespasian and Hadrian, life was particularly harsh for the Jews, although they were permitted to practise their religion in comparative freedom. The rise of Christianity brought with it an undoubted decline in the fortunes of the Jewish communnities. Tertullian was a Roma lawyer born in Tunis and a proponent of the new religion, and in his work Adversus Judaeorum he described the Jews as "fugitives and vagabonds, condemned to be scattered all over the earth because of the disrespect they had shown to the Christian Saviour". Tertullian's works became a blueprint for the vilification of the Jews and their religion and the justification for their brutal treatment. Judaism was eventually eradicated and the synagogues converted into churches. Methods of torture were used to force the Jews to convert.
