On January 4, Mohamed Bouazizi died. He set himself on fire in Dec. 2010. "His act became a catalyst for the Tunisian Revolution and the wider Arab Spring". Still a long way to go for peace, freedom and democracy, but this heralded a bad year for tyrants: goodbye Ben Ali, Mubarak, Gaddafi, Bin Laden, Kim Jong Il.

January 2011 was full of hope: we celebrated the Arab spring and the beginning of a year which ended up being tough on tyrans.
2012 was less glorious on many fronts (armed conflicts, economic crisis). The ship Concordia (= "harmony"; beautiful name...) gave the starting signal. A half a billion capsized ship and a chaotic evacuation.
We however need to learn to catch the good signals and to generate good vibes! Here is a personal curation of some 2012 events - politics, business, web, sport, art... what marked me in the past 12 months. Enjoy, share and comment. And most importantly, let 2013 be a better year for everyone!
