Tunisia – The State condemned to watch powerless the damage and count its deaths?

The situation is dramatic… The Tunisian health system is failing region after region… The country’s capacities are overwhelmed.… The citizens are more and more unconscious and proceed to oppose all the rules of prevention… In the meantime, the scientific commission to fight against the pandemic met today for what was supposed to be the last chance meeting … A meeting which was to conclude with the issuance of drastic proposals that will slow down, if not, put an ending to this spinning escalation of the hecatomb … However that was a disillusion when these magnificent masters of medicine left the meeting without having offered anything, limiting themselves to stating that it was impossible to propose a general lockdown that would have severe consequences for the nation and the citizen. And the worst is yet to come because it is assumed that even the national committee which is to meet tomorrow, will, highly, be diminished to come out with the same conclusions:

There is nothing more to do! The state will concede defeat tomorrow and will content itself with counting, helplessly, it’s dead! If it is true there is not much to do, and that the State is overwhelmed, the truth remains that it will be required, now and after the disaster, to request for accounts to all responsible. The state will have to learn the lessons of this tragedy and understand that one can barely fight a war with two, if not three, generals, furthermore, are in disagreement.

We will have to learn that we do not wage a war with a split arsenal, each part of which is the responsibility of a general, who declines to use it, to make himself indispensable. The police need to learn to be intransigent in the application of the law and decisions when it comes to the health and life of citizens … The Head of State must learn that we cannot divide troops when you are, all together, on the same boat which risks sinking. And the Minister of Health will have to shoulder the great portion of the responsibility, as well as his assistants who have sinned by too much wait-and-see and slowness, in making the required decisions, by waiting too long to act during the process of purchasing vaccines and other basic necessities, which have poorly picked the people to manage the file, who failed to predict events, particularly since they were expected, which makes their latency even more severe. As was the case with the situation in Kairouan, which everyone anticipated, but which the health ministry favoured managing a posteriori, and is doing, today, what would have been, differently, beneficial, if it had been done last month.

This brilliant minister will be capable to defend himself by projecting responsibility on the citizen who has proved himself to be undisciplined. To which, he will say that he is paid to be at the service of this citizen and that he has recognised for a long time that he is undisciplined, and he would have to manage the file otherwise, by anticipating and forcing on the improvement of the infrastructure, and above all, on the acceleration of vaccination, instead of blaming everything on the Tunisian!
