In the six months immediately after Mohamed Bouazizi's (WP) death, at least 107 Tunisians tried to kill themselves by setting themselves on fire.[1] The men who self-immolated are mostly young men from poor, rural areas, unmarried and have only basic education.[1] Amenallah Messaadi, who has collated the figures and is head of the Burns Centre, said that people shouldn't glorify the act of self-immolation and "should stop adding fuel to the fire".[1]


""I had no education, no job and was desperate...The whole country seemed to be on fire, so I set myself alight too, but it hasn't made things any better. I've destroyed my life and that of my family." Hosni, from Gasserak"
