Editing Protest song (section)

===Tunisia===
[[Emel Mathlouthi]] composed songs since a young age which called for freedom and dignity in a Tunisia ruled by the dictator [[Zine El Abidine Ben Ali]], earning her scrutiny from internal security forces and forcing her to retreat to Paris. Banned from the official airwaves, her protest songs found listeners on social media. In late 2010 and early 2011, Tunisian protesters referred to her song [[Kelmti Horra]] (my word is free) as an anthem of the [[Tunisian Revolution]].
