Tunisian Nobel Peace Prize winners join events marking five years of Arab Spring

Members of the Tunisian National Dialogue Quartet, who won this year’s Nobel Peace Prize, have joined events in the country’s heartland to mark five years since a desperate street vendor set himself on fire.

Children waved Tunisian flags, horsemen in traditional clothing paraded and crowds sang the national anthem during a celebration around the central plaza of Sidi Bouzid, where Mohamed Bouazizi set himself alight in 2010.
