  • The decision was taken following a noticeable improvement of the security situation.
  • Associated Press article does a good job of describing the various challenges that face this new democracy:  “unexpected threat that has emerged:…namely the “increasing boldness of ultra conservative Muslims known loosely as Salafis, who want to turn this North African country of 10 million into a strict Islamic state.”
