Deposing the Last Monarch of Tunisia | Al Jazeera World Documentary
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 лют 2023
- At the dawn of Tunisian independence in 1957, there was a bitter power struggle between the country's monarch and its first president.
It was a "winner takes all" battle between Habib Bourguiba, leader of the Tunisian independence movement, and Lamine Bey, whose family had ruled the country for more than 250 years.
Through witness accounts - including frank testimony from 99-year-old Driss Guiga, the former national security director and a Bourguiba loyalist, and contributions from a direct descendent of the royal family - this film reveals how the monarch was deposed.

Thank you, Al Jazeera 😊We need more of these types of historical documentaries.
Thanks for watching :)
Please more historicaldocs Abort Tunisia;)😊
Great documentary, so informative. Keep it up Al-Jazeera
Thank you Dafid
I have been waiting for this for a long time
The man was too soft and as a result, he was overpowered by Bourguiba. In Morocco, the king was absolute and as a result, his children are still on the throne today.
The cowardice of Moroccans and the Jewish roots of the so called alawite family that kept them in place till today
Poor Morocco
@@fyfyraspoor tunisia and republics most monarchies are better governed do your reasearch democracy i a hoax
@@smerch3474 Larping a King who larps the west 🤩
at least our monarch did not larp the west as bouguiba larped them so much he tried to force tunisians out of islam
And suddenly everyone in the comments is pro monarchy...😂
Its unbelievable
Great documentary with great production value, I truly enjoyed learning about this phase of history however I couldn't help but noticed how the doc makers tried to infuse their pro-monarchy editorial view into the doc by using clever editing techniques, and carefully chosen commentators, just look at 24:26 for example and listen to the ominous soundtrack and the portrait they chose, all designed to push the impression of existing nefarious conspiratorial intentions to assassinate the nice and humble bey, when in reality as the doc shows, it was a mere power struggle and that Tunisians had welcomed the new republican era bc they simply didn’t care about the so called royal family. Rightfully so, bc monarchies are an archaic idea from the past and belong in museums at best. The beys were leftover artifacts from the Ottoman era. The producers tried their best to foster sympathies among the viewers for beys of Tunis with this documentary but as history shows, the Tunisian people themselves disagree with AJE, thankfully.
Change is not necessarily what is needed all the time. Scratch beneath the surface some. Consider UAE, Morocco, Qatar....... Then check the changed Arab countries. Are they any better for it? Look at even Russia(Soviet). Is it better after disposing the Czars? It is very debatable. Democracy is overated
AJ without "THIS IS ALJAZEERA!" is Graceless !
🖕sit down 🐀
I know very little about Tunisia and it's history. This was so educational. I learned so much.
I am a Republican in my country (UK), so it's interesting to see how the abolition of royal families happen in other nations. According to this film, the people were happy which is great. However, the Bey, his wife and family could still have been shown more decency at the end.
The Tunisian royals were the reasons of Ottoman and French colonization so it was normal once the people had their freedom to abolish them. Don't forget that the beginning of our history was with Carthage republic and the nationalist movement focalized a lot of their ideology on that.
بورقيبة أيظا إنسان ذكي جدا و شجاع مات فائلا لا لله و للأنظمة الروحية، و كذلك الحال لبن علي، رجُلان من خير ما أنجبت تونس الحرة الحبيبة التي الآن مستهدفة من الأرواح الشريرة مرة أخرى للرجوع للنظام الروحي الملكي، و لكن هناك دائما رجال مثل بورقيبة و بن علي سيدافعون على تونس الحرة و يقولون أيظا لا لله و للنظام الملكي. عاشت تونس حرة آمنة إلى الأبد.
فاش تحكي ؟ متأكد عشت في تونس ؟ ما علمكش بالإمتيازات و الأموال الضخمة متاع الشعب الي ضخوها في حسابات أفراد عائلة بورقيبة و من بعدو بن علي و زوجتو و أنسابو ؟ ماكانش فيبالك الي كان يمشي يصلي الفجر و الي يقول رايو في الرئيس يقعدوه على شقفة في المراكز ؟ الكلنا نعرفو الي ما أوقح منهم كان إلي حكموا تونس من بعدهم أما باش تردهملنا شرفة و ملايكة و أحسن ما أنجبت تونس نقلك فيق على وضعك و يزي مالزف على خاطر الحنين للذل و العبودية و للوقت الي كنت تقول فيه يحيا بورقيبة و يحيا بن علي بالسيف على كرايمك ينقصلك من إنسانيتك صدقتني
People or the world, life is what it is, we are the same ....
The sadest thing !!!
الحمد الله رتحنا من بوسان اليدين متع البايات و هاك الكلام .. الملك المعضم .والعضمة لله وحده
اي نعم تحصل معناها...
a lot of the translation is inaccurate
TEFOOOO Bourguiba🐀🧑✈️☠️
The cruelty shown to the elderly King and his family after his undemocratic removal is a sickening stain on this countries history. Constitutional Monarchy is the best form of Government, long live the King.
Me after geography class 😅❤
Great man Lamine Bey, Big king.
Whatttt😂
كلهم تحت التراب و البقاء لله وحده
من هنا تعرف ان تونس لها شأن سياسي..و كانو عنو سياسيين متاع الصح..و على رأسهم...
فرحات حشاد راجل بألف ...لذلك اغتاله العدو

What goes around comes around...I'm not a big fan of monarchies but Bourguiba was arrogant and got served quite rightfully if not karmically by Ben Ali. He was not without merits though but his bad outweighs his good in my opinion
I feel bad for Lamine Bey. He deserved better. But at least Bourguiba and the Destourians were better than the ennahda terrorists.
bourguiba was the cause why ennahda was created (i hate them) and then ben ali freed them and even gave them gave them a unit in the BAT division and even some of his presidential guards were islamists and in 2011 the tunisians revolted to overthrow ben ali so they can stop corruption the country has been suffering but due to their bad luck they people even more (aka ennahda) who done the same thing ben ali and bourguiba did and in 2021 kais said closed the parliament and surrounded it with the military to end ennahda rule and he is now hunting them down
Why there is no subtitle?
Subtitle for what .
Ironie de l'histoire il a eu le même sort après sa destitution en 1987
It is heart breaking to see what Tunisia has become today
Not just Tunisia, the whole of North Africa.
@@globetrotter5751 Depends Morocco seems to be quite stable
@Benaissa two years ago, in a matter of two days, over 10000 opressed and destitute Moors, including small children and babies, threw themselves into the sea to flee land of Allah. Land of happiness and plentiful. This is what you call Maroc a stable country?
You must be living on the seventh cloud of cuckoo land.
@@globetrotter5751 North Africa is doing good, better than some countries in the continent
@Sami G. like Libya and Alj'airien, the only country where people smuggle bananas. 😃 😀 😄 😁
Al Jazeera ,please voice for EOTC ,prime minister Abiy Ahmed kill the people of Ethiopian orthodox tewahdo church
a7sen 7eja 3melha bourguiba kif ne7a el malakiya .
after he removed the monarchy he sold the country with all of its resources to the french and announced himself as the president for life all of tunisia problems were all his fault.
The language of the wise drips with knowledge,
the mouth of fools spills out folly.
I don't understand Arabic
you're in the wrong place bud
Ils parlent tunisien. Pas arabe.
Langue Tunisienne
La seule solution pour la Tunisie c’est de réhabiliter la Monarchie et réinstaller les Husseinite au Pouvoir !!! En tout les cas Bourguiba a été ingrat et tres mauvais
😲😲 it is really insulting what you are saying. Towards every tunisian... You can have your king. But leave us alone we will manage
