Curfew time again in Tunis!

 
The curfew in Tunis continues; last Saturday while on my way back home to La Marsa I suddenly received the news that a curfew had been announced. This was a result of the recent violent demonstrations in the centre of Tunis on Friday and Saturday. The 7.30pm classes at the British Council have been cancelled as the start time-9pm-of the curfew means it’s extremely difficult for the students to get home.
 
On Thursday an earthquake struck the southern city of Lorca, nine people were killed; it seems they were in the street when they were hit by falling masonry.
 
Meanwhile many Syrians continue to be killed in the brutal crackdown by President Assad; so far over 800 innocent unarmed people have been killed.
