Quote

"" Our revolution already took place in 1988. Although we spoke of a 'couscous revolt' because food was very scarce at the time, it was also a revolution for social justice, against the one-party system and for democracy "[...]

Kheddar recalled that the protests were organized by union officials and other activists, all of whom were jailed and tortured. Then the Islamists occupied the streets, as was the case later with the uprisings in Tunisia and Egypt "
