He left the party & that in itself is honorable.Many refuse to accept is that #tunisia n exhaustion w/ #Ennahdha 10 years post 2011 has little do with Islamism. It’s the corruption,poor governance,unjust econ. policy & abuse of power. They’ve failed more than just their voters. People living in #Tunisia;our anger is domestic, no one sits & thinks which side of the regional power dynamic to support. IFI #austerity impositions have strangled public spending, crippled public services,frozen hiring, devalued currency.. plurality seat party can’t be innocent

1/ So this analysis is the top thing you see when you search for #tunisia. It’s been used by @trtworld for a very propaganda-like video (on propaganda - incidentally) .
Giving credit to researcher for saying his findings don’t reflect internal Tunisian politics (they don’t) 2/ they dont bcause internally in #Tunisia very few people use Twitter (mostly Facebook) & the trend didnt have success. Tunisian twittersphere is surprisingly small. If true the data reveals outside forces’ interest in using the moment for their own purposes & regional dynamics

1) PM Mechichi met today with heads of Police unions (who have been responsible for violations of citizens’ privacy, inflammatory campaigns against some people they identified from the anti-police violence & anti-law 52 protests) to show his appreciation for them 2) Some of us were hoping for some sort of reaction from the PM / President to the violence & lack of professionalism shown by these unions since the Protest last Saturday. Such an explicit show of good relations between the acting Minister of Interior & the unions is a bad sign

1) In a fascinating turn of events Tunisian #Islamist party #Nahdha & reborn former regime party #FreeDestour party led by #AbirMoussi r both supporting Security Forces in what they consider attacks (some paint was thrown & middle fingers raised by peaceful protesters) on police 2) who were in full riot gear, preventing protesters from reaching the Ministry of Interior during a march against police violence & Tunisia’s harsh drug law 52 (21 yr old killed with a tear gas canister to the head & 2 young men for 30years for smoking hash in an empty stadium)
