Even The PR Company That Worked for Ben Ali Dumped Him
January 15, 2011 · Mustapha Hamoui
The Washington Media Group to the Tunisian regime a week ago:
It has been and remains our view that improving your nation’s image in the United States or elsewhere can only be accomplished if the reputation sought is consistent with the facts on the ground.
Recent events make it clear the Tunisian government is not inclined to heed our counsel regarding meaningful reforms. Indeed, the government’s current actions and activities have undermined, or in some cases completely undone, whatever progress we made in improving Tunisia’s reputation.
What can be more humiliating than your PR firm dumping you because you’re too rotten to have your reputation fixed?
