Young Tunisians

Young Tunisians

The Young Tunisian Party or Young Tunisians ( _fr. Jeunes Tunisiens) were a political party formed in 1908 by a group of young Tunisian intellectuals who thought that the people of Tunisia should have self-determination, rather than being a protectorate of France. They were French-educated and advocated for rights of Tunisians and Frenchmen. They printed a newspaper called "Le Tunisien".
