Lol I think they all need to give it another think through at the moment.
PM has taken over, President has left the country, and army taken over the airport.

Now let's see which tour operators got it right taking their customers out, and which have left people stranded in the middle of this.

Islamic revolution?

Seems the only popular movements with any weight in the Arab world advocate Sharia?

The BBC were reporting that this has all kicked off after a bloke, who was prevented from selling fruit and veg, decided to torch himself.

yeah talk about dedicated. Illegal vegetable seller torched himself in protest of his stall being confiscated. President visited in hospital as a PR stunt, guy died. president made an announcement, and it all kicked off.

I am fed up with these furtive Europhiles who keep trying to con us that they support this country and its people.
