A street vendor in Tunis sits on ground after setting himself ablaze

An unidentified Tunisian street vendor is sitting on the ground after he doused himself with gasoline and set himself on fire in Tunis, Tuesday, March 12, 2013. The street vendor set himself on fire in Tunisia’s capital, reviving memories of the self-immolation that helped spark the Arab Spring uprisings. Burns center director, Imed Touibi, said the 27-year-old cigarette vendor, from a poor town in northwestern Tunisia, set himself ablaze Tuesday and is in a coma with 90 percent burns. <AP Photo>
