TUNIS - Tunisia A 33 year old died after being set on fire this morning in Sidi Bouzid, Tunisia's central city and a stronghold of the revolution, the day on which the Secretary General of the United Nations, Ban Ki Moon, is visiting the North Country Africa. Medical sources said. The man, Khaled Ezzafouri, was rescued and was taken in the regional hospital in Sidi Bouzid, and then be transferred to Sfax, due to the severity of her condition, but did not have it done.

A Sidi Bouzid, January 17 last year, set himself on fire - died after weeks of agony - a young businessman walking fruit, Mohamed Bouaziz, which would thus denounce poverty besetting most of the population of Tunisia. At his bedside in the hospital Ben Arous, where he had been hospitalized in a desperate situation, he went to the president Ben Ali.

That same Ben Ali, who was forced to relinquish power and the country from its revolt triggered by the act of Bouaziz. To honor the memory of the young, he was named the center for major trauma and burns hospital in Ben Arous, where they were taken to other young people who have implemented the same gesture.

Ban Ki Moon has arrived in Tunis at night to meet with Tunisian authorities in transition. Yesterday the UN secretary general was in Egypt, where he held talks with the committee that guides the country since the fall of President Hosni Mubarak, on 11 February.
