Dear Tijani and All,

A cafe frequented by Tourists was also bombed in Djibouti a few days to
the last AIS. Locals claim that was the first time in Djibouti. We
stayed within the bounds defined by our localhosts and cancelled some
outside dining.

The most important thing to note is that there is no safe place in the
world.  Terrorists succeed when we let out fears rule us. I shall be in
Tunis, insha-Allah!

Sunday.

they will be protecting us, and we went there. It was wonderful, and a
very successful IGF.

single one, you can’t consider it unsecure, but if it is a recurrent
problem, yes, you are right to have the fear you expressed.
