Tunisian man speaks about his son who left to join the jihad in Syria. Currently unpublished, but part of a larger series on radicalization in Tunisia. For decades, Muammar Gaddafi kept the Libyan coastline tightly controlled; but now the borders are unguarded, and migrants are flooding the Mediterranean—headed for Europe. Often the overcrowded boats are unfit for the journey, and when they sink, Tunisian fishermen are there for the rescue. When Mohamed Bouazizi set himself on fire on December 17, 2010, to protest harassment by the Tunisian government, he kicked off the Arab Spring. Four years later, AJ+ catches up with his cousin, Habib, who explains how the revolution hasn't succeeded for him.

About Nicholas
I’m a multimedia journalist and editor passionate about combining text with photography and videography to tell stories from a unique perspective. My work has been featured by The Economist, Foreign Policy, Quartz, VICE and many others. I started working as a photographer on conflict and human rights issues while interning and copy editing at a small newspaper in Sana’a, Yemen in 2012. From there, I began working as a freelancer, first in Tunisia, then in Cairo, covering the aftermath of the Arab Spring. I’m currently based in Fayetteville, Arkansas, working on a series of long-term reporting projects in rural Arkansas, Oklahoma and Louisiana.
