Tunisian economist Sadok Rouai has published a book offering a researched new perspective on the January 1984 bread riots in Tunisia. The work revisits a critical period of social and economic unrest in the country’s history. Rouai’s analysis provides a detailed re-examination of the causes and consequences of the widespread protests sparked by rising bread prices. His research appears to offer previously unseen insights into the crisis. The book aims to contribute a more nuanced understanding of the events beyond simple narratives of price hikes. Kapitalis was the first to report on this new study.
