Today, the 4th of January Muhammad al-Bu'azizi died of his wounds.
He became famous in his death - by setting himself on fire - an act that led to riots that led to the fall of power in Tunisia and the beginning of the "Arab Spring".
Al-Bu'azizi was a man who lived a life of hardship, selling vegetables on the street, constantly harassed by the local police until he decided to take his life - and the act influenced the whole Arab world and still is.
