!قفصة : هناك، حيث لم تصل الثورة بعد
Mdhilla: In the “Sariaa” neighborhood, “We’re living on gold. But all it brings us is sickness and poverty.” [photos]
Mdhilla, population 15,000, in the southwest of Tunisia, is an industrial center in the mining basin with two clusters: a division of the Gafsa Phosphate Company (in the photo) and a regional division of the Tunisian Chemical Group. And yet, Mdhilla is one of the poorest towns in the country. An impromptu meeting with the residents of the “Sariaa” (Rapid) neighborhood. The neighborhood is mostly made up of semi-nomad families who never stayed in one place for a long time. These days, the inhabitants no longer really leave, since poverty and rough conditions force them to stay put. The whole neighborhood is built on the bed of a wadi that has been progressively filled in as new buildings go up.
Gafsa: Still waiting for the Revolution to happen
Gafsa. Too far south to catch our interest, too central to attract tourists. The capital of the mining sector is painful to behold. The skies are leaden and the ambiance is sad. A small gathering of job-seekers looking for work in the city center bears witness to ongoing tensions and demands that are far from being met. Among the forsaken are Amor and his family. He and his brothers tell of their past, their present, and their dreams for the future. Hearing the stories echos throughout this family is eye-opening, revealing the human experience’s different faces, fleshing out each identity, and magnifying differences.
Mdhilla : Au quartier “Sariaa”, “On vit sur de l’or. Mais nous n’en récoltons que la maladie et la pauvreté.” [photos]
Rencontre improvisée avec des habitants du quartier de « Sariaa » (Rapide). Un quartier qui héberge principalement des familles semi-nomades qui ne restaient jamais longtemps sur place.[…]
Gafsa : Là où la Révolution n’est pas encore arrivée
Gafsa. Trop au sud pour qu’on s’y intéresse, trop au centre pour drainer du touriste. La capitale du bassin minier fait peine. Le ciel est lourd, l’ambiance triste. Un petit attroupement de chômeurs qui cherchent du travail au centre ville, montre que la situation n’est pas apaisée et que les revendications sont toujours les mêmes.
