<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1f497d" lang="EN-US">I’m Tunisian, and I am so sad for what happened yesterday. It
was the first time the terrorist attack in our cities. They targeted the tourists
to make you and all other foreigners refrain from coming to Tunis.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1f497d" lang="EN-US"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1f497d" lang="EN-US">But they don’t go to the conference venues because those places
are very secured.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1f497d" lang="EN-US">I remember last IGF Africa was planned to take place in Abuja,
and after security problems, people had the same fear and didn’t want to go
there. But the organizers and the Nigerian government assured us that they will
be protecting us, and we went there. It was wonderful, and a very successful
IGF.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1f497d" lang="EN-US"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1f497d" lang="EN-US">So, don’t worry; Tunisia is very safe, or at least as safe as
Paris or Copenhagen. In any country, you may have such an incident. When it is
a 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.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
