“No country would ever consider it an act of evil to deny a pig human rights.

Therefore, if you were to define someone speaking a different tongue, someone of a different color, someone of a different heritage as a pig in human form, any oppression, persecution, or atrocity you might inflict upon them would never be regarded as cruel or inhumane.”

-Vladilena Milize, 86 by Asato Asato

Aboul-Qacem Echebbi, also spelled Abul Qasim Echebbi or Aboulkassem Chebbi, was a prominent Tunisian poet who lived from 1909 to 1934. He is celebrated as one of the most influential figures in modern Arabic poetry. Echebbi's poetry is known for its deep patriotism, themes of social justice, and a passionate call for freedom and liberation from colonial rule.

His iconic poem, "To the Tyrants of the World" ("إلى طاغوت العالم" in Arabic), remains one of his most famous works and a symbol of resistance and was used as the lyrics of the tunisian national anthem. Echebbi's short but impactful life left a lasting legacy, and his verses continue to inspire generations, emphasizing the importance of self-determination and the pursuit of justice.
