Trouble in Tunisia

Tunisia was supposed to be the success story of the Arab Spring — the only democracy to last in the decade since revolutions swept the region.

What happened? We hear from Mr. Saied and citizens of Tunisia on the ground.

Guest: Vivian Yee, the Cairo bureau chief for The New York Times.
