coup in Tunisia

The 1987 Tunisian coup d'état involved the bloodless ousting of the aging president of Tunisia Habib Bourguiba on 7 November 1987, and his replacement as president by his recently appointed prime minister, Zine El Abidine Ben Ali. The action was justified by reference to Bourguiba's failing health and Article 57 of the country's constitution.
