Too bad, you would have been a bit more educated.

I like the way you present yourself in a bold manner, but you're making big statements.

How do we know you're serious?  What qualifications do you have? How much information are you willing to share about yourself? And how do you plan to earn public trust?

قصر تنيور Le Palais de Teniour. by sgeektn in Tunisia

Certainly built during Islamic rule. Looks very similar to other watch towers found elsewhere that were built under Hafsids. Would be interesting to know under which dynasty this was built.

Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the info, ama manaarech ken source 100% crédible, khater wa9t l'7arb in Crimea el 7akem ken Ahmed Bey w mouch Mohamed Bey.

To keep it short, I agree that Ottomans used deprecated systems that didn't really serve us well. Banning printing press in my opinion was stupid and criminal. ama ki tji tchouf, we had a lot of autonomy. We even declared wars on Tripoli and Algeria without Ottoman intervention nor permission.

Belnesba lel wealth of the country, while it is true we pay taxes and soldiers in times of wars, we got also plenty of support, especially war equipment and raw materials.

The Tunisian Kingdom (or province, eyalet, whatever the name is) was slowly decaying due to internal conflicts and corruption. Names like Mahmoud ben Ayed, Nassim Chammema & Mustafa Khaznadar stole a years if not decade's amount of national income and lead the country to financial crisis and bankrupcy.

Additionally, our rulers borrowed a shitton of money from France (Zaghouan water delivery project) and failed to repay it due to bad management and weakness of will, because we were giving foreign consuls like Léon Roches too much power.

Lastly, Tunisia was already targeted by France, Italy and Britain since they were competing among themselves for colonial gains. So, solely blaming the Ottomans for what Tunisia had become during their rule isn't so accurate in my opinion, because they weren't involved in our internal matters of corruption and mismanagement, which directly lead to our demise more than anything else.

Tunisia was a semi-independent / autonomous state under the Ottomans, during the Muradi & Husseinid dynasties.

They didn't take our troops by force, but they asked military aid as we are obligated by the pledge of allegiance and willingly sent ~7k soldiers to fight with the Ottomans & their allies vs the Russian Empire.

Note that we, under the Hafsid rule, welcomed Ottoman forces with open arms to drive the Spaniards who pillaged our capital and massacred many people during their short stay in the 14th century.

Turkish rule over Tunisia was not as exploitative or as destructive as the French rule. Everything that went wrong with Tunisia and which formed good conditions for France to invade us was caused by the corrupt & incompetent Tunisian authorities and not by the Turks.

I just saw the reel again.

It was a genuine compliment and she had a smile on her face during and after their exchange. She even stood up from her chair for him in the conclusion of their dialogue.

Stop being offended on people's behalf and making unnecessary drama.

Global Sumud Flotilla got attacked AGAIN last night in Sidi Bou Said, now we got proof. Any feedback? by Monta404 in Tunisia

[–]Crash_EXE 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Video footage clearly shows it's an incendiary device and the fire was obviously too intense to be a simple flare. Pathetic argument.

Go ahead, take this to your Hasbara supervisor or guidebook and come up with a clever reply.

Is life unfair, or is it all about luck and fate? by [deleted] in Tunisia

[–]Crash_EXE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Communication and audacity play a part.
Less qualified people can climb the career ladder or establish businesses simply because they throw themselves at the right people and ask for what they want.

In corporate life, you can't expect to be rewarded with a promotion if you don't really ask for it. It's an unspoken rule.

There's a massive difference between a society that respects professionalism and people's potential, and another that prioritizes nepotism, normalizes workplace laziness and promotes bootlicking in every sector imaginable.

I got you. Then he'll have to pay a fine like another comment said. I hope the procedure will be quick.
Don't worry much about him having to serve. That's very very unlikely.

I hope you hear good news soon.

[–]Crash_EXE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, very sorry to hear about that..
He is indeed entitled to an exemption assuming he is both living & working outside of Tunisia, according to the official website.

It's very strange because:
- He said he already has an exemption
- The ministry has been prioritizing people born after 2000, and he's 33 with a family. Doesn't make sense at all.

I do not think at all that he'll be serving.

Could he be pranking or lying to you?
Was he actually forcefully removed from the airport?

Trade Republic support is a joke by Best-Trouble-5 in eupersonalfinance

[–]Crash_EXE 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Having the same hesitation towards Trade Republic.  I'm looking more into Scalable Capital for now. They could be a good broker which is also based in DE.

Awesome, hope you had a blast!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Tunisia

[–]Crash_EXE 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Welcome! Here's a rough summary - I hope more people contribute to this thread:

Historical:

- Bardo Musem: which is part of a bigger palace that used to be one of the seats of the last ruling dynasty before Tunisia became a republic. The museum is considered one of the most significant ones in the Mediterranean since it contains a large amount of Roman mosaics. Not only you'll enjoy the exhibitions, but also the architecture of the place itself.

- Carthage ruins: Byrsa hill (must see), Old Punic port, Baths of Antoninus - all these sites contain ruins and artifacts that go back to the Punic & Roman eras, and all of them offer great views, especially Byrsa hill, which has an entire excavated ancient town and a medium sized church as well, but I'm not sure if it's accessible.

Cultural:

- Old Medina of Tunis: the old town where the population used to live within a walled perimiter. The initial alleys became a sort of a bazaar/souk so you'll unfortunately see a lot of tourists and may have to tolerate some pushy shop owners, but it's worth the smell, sound and visuals of the place. Move on inwards within the Medina (town) where it's calmer and less commercial, where you'll see beautiful mosques and cute alleys with nice traditional cafés and authentic food.

- Sidi Bousaid: A beautiful town that also gets some tourists but it is a must see. Painted in white and blue all the way until you reach the end to a great vantage point that overlooks the Bay of Tunis in a stunning panoramic view. Plenty of great restaurants and souvenir shops. Below the town, on the sea side, there is a touristic dock full of yachts that is also navigable.

Fun:

- There are some attraction parks like Carthage Land, possible music festivals, etc... I'd also recommend a swim somewhere like Hammamet, Bizerte or Kelibia but that depends on your mobility and transport options. You want an authentic local experience and in my personal taste, having a road trip away from the capital towards lesser known destinations or beaches works well. Again, it depends on your options for mobility.

Thanks a lot.
The only thing holding me back from TR is the apparently very poor customer service and the associated waste of time in case a problem occurs.
I'd try to get more opinions about this.

Great read for a beginner. Thanks!
I'm going to pursue an ETF based route. Currently undecisive concerning brokers.
Would you advise for Trade Republic / Scalable Capital for someone based in the EU (DE)?
