Mubaraka Awainiya Brahmi is the wife of Martyr Muhammad Brahmi (born 8 July 1967). She is an opponent of the Zionist regime, a supporter of the Palestinian cause, and a prominent Tunisian unity figure.
Birth
Mubaraka Awainiya Brahmi was born on 8 July 1967 in the Sidi Ali Bin Aoun district of the Sidi Bouzid governorate. Her father, Hajj Samati bin Muhammad, was one of the leaders of the armed resistance against French colonialism in the region[1].
Education
She completed her primary education at the elementary school in the village of Sidi Ali Bin Aoun, then moved to the mixed secondary institute in Sidi Bouzid. Due to involvement in the student movement in the early eighties (1982) regarding participation in the student movement protesting the attack by Zionist forces on Beirut, she was expelled. She then moved to the secondary school in Soliman - Nabeul, and after succeeding, returned to the village of Bin Aoun. She obtained her bachelor's degree in 1988 in Sidi Ali Bin Aoun, then went to the city of Tunis to study at the Faculty of Law and Political Science[2].
Political Activities
After returning to the village of Bin Aoun due to rejoining the student movement, she faced restrictions and security harassment. She was arrested and tortured again in 1986 for participating in a protest march against the neglect of NATO aggressions against Libya by security forces in the Sidi Bouzid region. After moving to the city of Tunis, she continued her activities in the student movement with the nationalist faction of "Progressive Students of the Arab League", where she met Martyr Hajj Muhammad Brahmi, who was one of the leaders of the progressive nationalist movement, and married him on 30 July 1989. Following the severe November attack on the University of Tunis in 1990, like hundreds of other protesters, after the intensification of repression against the student movement and the imprisonment of every progressive spirit, her studies were halted. She then travelled with her husband Muhammad Brahmi to Saudi Arabia and resided there for 10 years.
Her return to Tunisia and the beginning of the second millennium, along with the return of the political movement in Tunisia, were among the contributions made in accepting national political discussions led by Martyr Muhammad Brahmi, and this paved the way for the establishment of the Nasserist Union Movement in 2005.
Her home in the Ghazala neighbourhood hosted the first preliminary meetings of dozens of union activists and students during protests against the aggression on Iraq in 2003, especially during the intelligence meeting in 2005 which led to the establishment of the Nasserist Union Movement in March 2005, of which she was a member until the uprising of 17 December 2010. She was always in the front line of demonstrations and protests. Such as: Tunis demonstrations in defence of the Palestinian cause or in protest against the aggression on Iraq and demanding public freedoms and condemning tyranny and corruption. After the start of the 17 December 2010 uprising, Mubaraka helped coordinate between scattered activist groups in various regions, especially the groups of the "Sidi Bouzid" region, to root the revolution and transform it from a regional protest into a national revolution. When many of the injured and wanted fighters were welcomed and sheltered in her home in the Ghazala neighbourhood away from the eyes of the police and security forces, she was the best support for Martyr Muhammad Brahmi and the Sidi Bouzid militants. She participated in the establishment of the first popular movement after the revolution in 2011, along with many nationalist women and men, and established the Association for the Advancement of Arab Women and took responsibility for leading it. She participated in the Kasbah Sit-ins 1 and 2 and was active in organising many protest movements. She is one of the founders of the popular movement institutions on 7 July and is also a defender of joining the Popular Front, as a strategic national choice to complete the goals of the revolution and manage the confusion of disparate parties. On 16 March 2014, she was honoured by activists of the popular movement during its central committee by her unanimous election as honorary president of the party[3].
