About revolutions

It has been more than a month since Zine El Abidine Ben Ali, Tunisia's president, was forced to leave office, but many people say they are yet to see the benefits of their revolution.

Many citizens, particularly in smaller towns, say they feel disconnected from Tunis, and that the root causes of the uprising - spiralling unemployment and widespread poverty - remain unaddressed. Al Jazeera's Nazanine Moshiri reports from Gafsa, one such region of Tunisia.

The more things change, the more they stay the same. I know, it is too early to say. But I still keep thinking about the outcome of the revolutions of the past. The futility of hope, to paraphrase a famous saying.
