The 14 January 2016 marked the fifth anniversary of the Tunisian revolution, the first movement of the Arab Spring and the trigger for many other popular uprisings in Egypt, Libya, and Syria in particular. Tunisia had achieved a lot since 2011, but frustrations and dangers still loomed large. All the more reason for the EU to be committed to the country.
