my name is slim and here is yassine live from the parking lot of the ministry of interior, we are going to submit our application , it's a little bit noisy here, (showing the paper), this is not a request, it's an announcement about the gathering to be held on may 22 2010
yassine: badiƒ, my brother, i have 100 dinar under the mattress, in case any trouble happen, pay the internet bill, slim: i feel alright, we are going to show before/after, aren't we? yassine: let's hope there's an after first, slim: see you soon then... 18:00 slim: OK, we are still alive, i am going to eat something because i am starving, yassine will tell you what happened, slim singing as opening sequence, yassine: at 11:00AM we went to the front door of the ministry of interior affairs and local development, two officers welcomed us, (noise), let's move there, we are moving now, welcome 'there', so... they gave us directions, don't do anything behind me slim. we met an officer ranked lieutnant and another one ranled 'two stripes' they took our ID and the application, i don't know if they have the right to do so or not since i don't lnow who they are, they placed us in the waiting room, there, a cheering person came and chated with us, we talekd about internet, he said i call it 'yaanbook' (meaning damn on your father), is that what he said slim, slim: i do witness so, yassin continuing his talk, then he asked us, did 'they' shut down the internet? after a while, the two officers came back to us and told us that they can not take our application, but we didn't give up, and insisted we would like to go the registry office, so to their most gentleness, two other officers came to us and claimed to be the registry office and we stayed on the street next to the ministry of interior affairs talking, explaining that they cannot take that our application and advised us to go to the governor house, slim intervening, they refused to take us to the registry office, yassin pursuing, and they didn't show their identity and refused that we bring a notary to testify that they refused to take our application, slim: that's because we need to find a notary who accepts to do so, yassin: but they refused anyway, what did we do then? so we took our way to the administration of homeland security which we contacted earlier by phone, but they themselves were contacted by the 'others' to tell them to get rid of us, yassin intervening: we have received two boys, close to say two kids, slim you had a bear though, thay should have said a citizen and a boy, let's get back to our story, slim: the homeland security told us to go to the governor house, so we went there, the officer at the front desk refused to take us to the registry office, the registry office told him, i can't do anything for them, i can't accept their application, and they can't come to my office, so he contacted Mr Zied who is in charge of political matters, but zied was missing today, and in all the district of tunis, there was nobody who van welcome us, as we were standing there, the governor himself with his bones and fat as we say was walking by, and he welcomed us and asked us for our concern, we showed him our application and explained it to him, so he told us to go back to the homeland security, and here we are like a ball between the males, slim: no you should't say that, yassin: ok Ammar (censoring avatar) you can cut this out, so we decided to go to the post office and since we don't know to whom we should send our application, we sent three copies, one for each of the governor of tunis, the minister of interior and the chief general of national security, all with notification of delivery, and then we wrote all what we have been through on an article along with the application ans sent it to all tunisian newspapers by fax and we kept the notification deliveries, so that we won't be accused of distortion of the country reputation with foreign assistance, and we hope we did everything according to our right of freedom of expression which our president insists on protecting in all his speeches , slim: no no no, don't say that, yassin: ok Ammar cut this out really, so we just ate, and recorded this video, and that's it, now we are going to have some fun, good bye
