The ancient site of Carthage then part of the Muslim world, Tunisia
became a French protectorate on May 12, 1881 and independent on
March 20, 1956. Habib Bourguiba has headed the country since
independence. Tunisia is a member of the Arab League,
and is currently the site of the PLO's headquarters..
Tunisia survived a Libyan raid against the southern mining center
of Gafsa in January 1980 and some 1,000 rioters were arrested in
1984 following an announced 125% increase in the price of bread. Bourgiba,
who had declared himself president for life, was replaced in a bloodless
coup by Bin Ali in 1988.
