Africa Current Event
http://www.cnn.com/2011/WORLD/africa/02/05/tunisia.violence/index.html
This is the just another example of the recent protests in various countries around the world, specifically close by Egypt which has been protesting against their President for around two weeks. It seems as if these protests were also against their leader who evidently didn't do the greatest job of leading the country and providing for the people living there. This is another example of how political instability causes people to become restless and do whatever they can to bring about change to their country. People can only deal with poor circumstances that are directly related to the actions of their leader for so long. It's only a matter of time before they begin protesting, and that is exactly what happened in Tunisia. I don't think police handled it the right way though when they aimlessly fired into the crowd. Until that point I think they did the right thing, but they shouldn't have resorted to firing into the crowd to get them to stop protesting. I'm not saying I know what they should have done, but I do think there has to be some way that they could have handled it better. I think it will be interesting to see where it goes from here.
