Greetings Expats,

Expat Awareness

According to Reuters News:  

“Police fired on Islamists attacking a police station in a southern Tunisian town, killing one person, a security source said, in the latest incident to raise religious tensions in the North African country.”

Analysis

This incident is a snap shot of the security landscape in Tunisia.  On the one hand we’ve seen an improvement in terms of organization & coordination on the part of Tunisian security forces but as of late there has been a trend “salafist” related incidents.

Forecast

Tunisian security forces are demonstrating that they will not tolerate this kind of aggression.  While this particular incident does not change the overall threat level; we can expect similar stories to materialize.

Moving forward 

The tension between the “salafists” and security forces will continue.  More importantly we have to remember to practice good situational awareness.

Let’s stay in touch and continue to share updates.
