Tarek al-Tayyib Muhammad ibn Bouazizi (March 29, 1984 -- January 4, 2011), known simply as Mohamed Bouazizi (Arabic: محمد البوعزيزي‎, Mʋham̑ad alBúoazízí), was a Tunisian street vendor whose self-immolation on December 17, 2010 became the catalyst for the 2010--2011 Tunisian uprising—Jasmine Revolution.
To make ends meet, the unemployed Bouazizi sold fruits and vegetables from a cart in his rural town of Sidi Bouzid, located 160 miles from the country's capital Tunis. He did not have a license to sell, but it was his sole source of income.
On December 17, authorities confiscated his produce and allegedly slapped his face. Bouazizi became incensed. He then drenched himself in gasoline and set himself on fire outside the governor's office. Bouazizi survived his initial suicide attempt. After being transported to a hospital near Tunis, he was visited by President Zine al-Abidine Ben Ali before passing away on January 4.




After his suicide attempt, unrest broke out in Sidi Bouzid. The police cracked down on the protestors, which only fueled the movement. The revolt eventually spread to the capital city. On January 14, the masses of protestors prevailed as President Ben Ali fled the country amid escalating violence and opposition.
