We get a rare insight into the fall of the Ben Ali regime in Tunisia in 2011 through the last calls of the Dictator while still in power. The calls have been recovered by the BBC.
It shows he still thught he was in charge of the country while on the plane to Saudi Arabia and planned to return. In reality an interim President had already been announced at this point, and many of the close advisors he speaks with had already changed their allegiance.
