Tunisians have unveiled a monument in honour of the man who burnt himself a year ago, triggering a protest movement that ended President Zine el-Abidine Ben Ali's 23-year rule. Tunisia's newly appointed President Moncef Marzouki joined flag-waving crowds in Sidi Bouzid in commemoration. Fruitseller Mohamed Bouazizi's suicide caused a wave of unrest which swept from Sidi Bouzid across the Arab world. Bouazizi was rushed to hospital in a coma with 90% burns, and died on 5 January. "Thank you to this land, which has been marginalised for centuries, for bringing dignity to the entire Tunisian people," Bbc.co.uk quotes Mr Marzouki as saying.
