Please let us all join hands in praying for Tunisia and all other states where citizens live in oppression and no one comes to their aid.  Let us not close our ears and eyes to the sufferings of others.  Who is my neighbour?  Let us remember that all that goes round comes round.  Why?  The world has all along been watching.  Who was benefitting from the growing economy?  Now the tourists whose enjoyment was made possible by Ben Ali have all been flown out by 'European tour companies' who have been working in the country and denying the locals employment.  And the massses of the Tunisians who have been labouring for basic needs have nowhere to turn to.  And our writers seem to suggest Al Quaida is now offering support to the protestors! People!!!!!! Talk of double standards.  Let us all pose questions on how each of us has played a role in maintaining the oppressive situation in Tunisia and elsewhere in the world, Africa to be specifi.  God Bless us all, Inshalla!!
