    Ten years ago, a fruit seller in Tunisia set himself on fire in a desperate and fatal act of protest.

    Mohammad Bouazizi’s actions tapped into frustration and fury at home and across the region, leading to what became known as the Arab Spring.

    Tunisia managed to transition into democracy, but many say things have become worse.
