I have then the idea to try some search on the person of
Ibouchir Bouna. After much of unfruitful attempts, I found an article in "Le
Monde". One quoted him at the time of disorder in Tunisia. A subversive leaflet
against the government would have been worth to him to be locked up a certain time, but
that went back to 1972. The article referred only shortly to the event but spoke a little
bit about Ibouchir Bouna. I returned 24 years behind. At that time, Ibouchir Bouna,
recently returned from South America, launches with student friends some movements of
riots. He criticizes president Bourguiba, quickly becomes a chief of the student movement
although he is already more than thirty years. Adored by crowd, he is arrested. He
disappears mysteriously from his cell. Becoming little by little a legend, one says
contradictory things concerning him. He would have escaped to many attempt of murders or
changed his appearance for security. No complete description of him exists. One does not
know his date of birth with certainty. Some say that it was before the war, others advance
1950, which is contradictory with the age that one gave him at the moment of the riots in
Tunisia.
