The podcast transcript discusses the events surrounding the coup in Tunisia in 1987, involving various key figures such as Zine El Abidine Ben Ali, Habib Bamar, and Radel Ganci. The plot to overthrow President Bourguiba, led by Ben Ali, involved manipulating alliances with different factions, including the Islamists and moderate branches of the MTI. Ben Ali's rise to power was supported by foreign countries and internal collaborators, leading to the elimination of his rivals and solidifying his control over Tunisia. The transcript also touches on the role of Radel Ganci in betraying his own associates and the subsequent power struggles within the Islamist movement. The events described shed light on the complex political landscape in Tunisia during that period and provide insights into the dynamics that shaped the country's future. The narrative highlights the manipulation, betrayals, and power plays that ultimately led to Ben Ali's authoritarian rule and the subsequent opposition movements that emerged in the following years.
