My name is Sami Ben Gharbia. Born in Bizerte (Tunisia) in 1967. I have the Tunisian-Dutch nationality. I fled from Tunisia in 1998 and live in The Netherlands as political refugee.
I speak Arabic, French, Dutch, English, and a bit of Farsi.
My personnel blog [fikra] فكرة (which means idea in Arabic) has been censored in Tunisia since 2003. I initially start blogging with the publishing of the first Tunisian e-book (Borj Erroumi XL) that tells the story of the escapade that I was forced to, crossing Africa and the Middle East, to reach Europe and get asylum.
I can also be found at nawaat, an independent Tunisian site that I ran together with a wonderful team. I also started writing for Global Voices.
