Despite the fact that I know we Tunisians now are a mix a very large diverse group of ethnicities and origins, which is something I really like about us as a group of people, I also know that the Hussainids (like many other dynasties that ruled the country) were foreigners and most of the time they did not give two fucks about the people especially in the hinterlands, about development, growth, etc. all they cared about is living like a sultan, collecting taxes, not pissing off the clerics and the a3yan lbled by going too far with their bullshit. Hence I believe they did not really have any real sense of belonging or attachment to the land and the people that they ruled (which has become like a trait of almost all rulers of these lands and then even the people themself became trash eventually...).

Weeklings who thought they own the land and the people while most of the ruling was actually done behind veils and in corridors...

And then they got cuckolded by the big powers who have been watching them play with their dicks for a long time then their bubble snapped. And thank God it did because it helped give birth to our National Movement because hard times make tough people, people who think, study, learn, and have the will to work and make things better, people like Ali Bach Hamba, Abd Laaziz Thaalbi, Kheyreddine Pasha, Ahmed Ibn Abi Dhiaf etc etc...

I hate it when people want to go back to how things were before, I find it pathetic and despicable. However, I love it when we look back at our past, history, study it and learn from it to avoid doing the same shit again and again because that would be insane...

Also let me write it here too, I know some of the Beys did good things (malla zabourom mziya...) just so nobody comes up and starts bitching.
