Tawfiq Omran Tunisian cartoonist

I started drawing for the press in the early 80s in various Tunisian independent and opposition newspapers: Le Phare, Arraï, Al Wehda, Al Mostaqbel ... All these newspapers are gone! This is not strange because the 80s are the last decade of Bourguiba government and the puch of Ben Ali (1987) which forced the journals of opinion to close. Like many, I changed my job to guide me to the cultural and commercial edition in 2003 by creating my own publishing house (Editions Alfiniq). Return to cartoon was in April 2011 (after the revolution). Since, my drawings appear regularly in the website of the Kalima radio and weekly newspaper Sawt Echaab, organ of Tunisian Workers' Party. In 2013, I began a new experience with the European website "The Dissident" and the French monthly newspaper "CQFD".
