As the protest against Tunisian President Ben Ali was building this month, we posted a music video from rapper El General (Hamada Ben Amor), who had been seized by the police. His crime was to put out lyrics such as "President, Your People Are Dying".

Well, Ben Ali is no longer President and El General is free and producing more music. His latest track is an "ode to Arab revolution", calling for a repetition of the Tunisian rising in countries throughout the region: "Egypt, Algeria, Libya, Morocco, all must be liberated/Long live free Tunisia".
