I would like to stress that I am and have been safe throughout this. My last post was a bit hasty, and probably came off cavalier. But I am safe, mostly because of geographic reasons. The protests have been centered in the south and west, and now, in the capital. Sousse is the birthplace of the current president, and because of that he has a higher level of support (or tolerance) here than in other areas. That said, I wouldn’t characterize what’s happening as regional by any means: this is a national movement, and increasingly, an international one.
Still, Sousse is, for the time being, a good place to be, and I am safe.
