Only weeks after the Bardo National Museum massacre in March, a jihadist struck again in June, this time at Sousse, a popular

Located in Northern Africa, Tunisia was once a country marked by the authoritarian rule of Ben Ali. Citizens were increasingly repressed by the regime and at the end of 2010, after many years of suffering, decided to stage a revolution. However, it is important to note that the inspiration and primary stages of the revolution began many years prior to 2010 (Al-Azb 224).

The Algerian-French-Morocco Campaign specifically Operation Torch is by far one of the most forgotten and rarely talked about operations during World War II (WW2). Operation Torch paved the way for a multi-national amphibious landing in Northern Africa, opening up a second front in the west giving Soviet Union Troops relief on the eastern front. The Algerian-French-Morocco Campaign became a massive testing ground for tactics, techniques and procedures that

as the Americans were pushing for an invasion in northern France as early as 1942. American military leadership, however, was not sold on the logic or necessity of a North African campaign. General George C. Marshall, the architect of American military strategy, wanted no part of a US commitment to a Mediterranean campaign.

What triggered this uprising was an “act of desperation,” the self-immolation of 26 year old Mohamed Bouazizi, a Tunisian merchant (The Star). Bouazizi had been an unlicensed vegetable merchant for seven years before his cart was confiscated by a police officer who then “slapped the scrawny young man, spat in his face, and insulted his dead father,” (Abouzied)
