    78 people killed in Tunisia. Night time curfew on and military have orders to shoot to kill if anyone is on the streets.

    Worry now that the troubles will spread to other African Countries in a domino effect. These facts are from TV news.

    This is really a shame. Tunesia is a great port, lots of history and wonderful shopping. I enjoyed my time there - just glad I don't have a trip planned there currently!

    Situation is quiet at the moment, but tourists are still advised to keep out of the Country as the trouble can erupt again.

    It's risky business going to a place that is politically unstable unless you are a journalist (not that it's not risky, but they have a reason to be there)
