Awwal 10, 1432 / April 14, 2011, SPA -- Lech Walesa, who led Poland's struggle against communist rule in the 1980s, will share his experiences of a bloodless democratic transition with reformers in Tunisia, according to Reuters. Walesa, who headed the Solidarity trade union that toppled communism in Poland in 1989 and then became Poland's democratically elected president, told Reuters on Thursday he would lead a small mission to Tunisia on April 28-30. "I'm going there as a revolutionary to advise them on building their own Solidarity, not necessarily a labour union, but a wide social movement that can shoulder all the change needed that is too much for individuals," Walesa said. "A number of things are not working right in Tunisia and that's why they are rebelling," he said, citing Tunisians' grievances with the economy and justice system. -- SPA
