I have a flight from TUN to US thru Frankfurt and right when I make it to my layover in Frankfurt, @United texts me that the flight is canceled and that I’m rebooked for FRIDAY. There are no flights flying out of Frankfurt in the next days bc of a strike All the white passengers get to leave the airport while PoC people with no German visas stay behind. All Lufthansa passengers get hotel vouchers. I get left behind. I am alone in a shut off terminal. All restaurants closed bc there are no flights operating.

As Tunisians pushing for the constitutional "coup" are being accused of pushing ideological agendas or being secularists, I'd like to point out a few things to all new Tunisia experts we suddenly have: 1. Repeating the obvious: Tunisia is not ur usual mena country with sectarian/ideological conflicts at the core of politics. Seeing things thru this narrow scope is suppressive of Tunisian voices + reductive as it pigeonholes us with the rest, as if our regional history is doomed

Twitter misinformation list because some foreign policy editors are mentally lazy:

1/"KS did not assign constitutional court", WRONG: he didn't sign a bill that was going to amend how court is appointed. Ennahda delayed the appointment, violating the constitution. 2/"KS dismissed the parliament" WRONG: he only paused it and said in his video that he had no legal basis to dismiss it
