Description
This stamp is a solemn tribute to Mohamed Bouazizi, whose desperate act in Sidi Bouzid was the spark of the revolution. His portrait is associated with the image of his cart of fruits and vegetables, a symbol of precariousness and the daily fight for subsistence. Entitled “Revolution of Dignity”, this stamp sanctifies the figure of the popular martyr. He recalls that the movement was born from a deep thirst for economic justice and the refusal of humiliation, making Bouazizi a global icon of resistance against oppression.
