Tunisia: large demonstrations demand immediate resignation of Islamist government

Tens of thousands marched through Tunis in demand of the resignation of the Islamist government, carrying national banners and photos of the victims of state terrorism.

The ruling Enhada party already conceded to early elections but first they insist in completing their Islamist constitution, what the protesters hope to avoid.

Tunisia: elections called for December under popular pressure

This means that the Enhada Islamist government is nearing its end. However PM M. Laridi has declared that he will lead the government until that day in spite of the strong popular and political pressure for his resignation.

That will allow the Islamists to end their one-sided constitution before general elections, although it is unclear if it will be approved by the Constitutional Assembly, where it requires 2/3 of the votes.

Tunisia: popular uprising escalates, Army moves to isolate Islamist-controlled Parliament

The Tunisian Army has intervened to "protect" the Parliament, sealing Bardo Plaza with barbed wire. 

Protesters remain undeterred and have regrouped in nearby areas of the capital. They demand the resignation of the Islamist government, which they held responsible of the recent murders of Left-wing politicians.

Update: uh-oh, if you dig enough, Al-Jazeera has some information also... just that very much hidden from the first page (unlike the Islamist-biased info on Egypt, which is always lead story no matter what).

For example they admit that the demonstrators amount to tens of thousands, what, considering the strong Islamist bias of the Qatari site, probably means hundreds of thousands...  saying also that the government is about to fall, as a minor partner, Ettakatol, is threatening to withdraw from the coalition.

A video of some of the protests can be seen here.

Tunisia: protests and riots after second murder of Left leader

Protests and riots took over Tunis and the mining towns of Sidi Bouzid and Meknassi after Mohamed Brahmi was murdered by Islamists. In February another communist, Chokri Belaid, was also murdered with the same weapon, it seems. 

These crimes aggravate the confrontation between the revolutionary opposition and the reactionary Islamists (Enhada) in power, which practice brutal neoliberalism. 

The protesters in Tunis demanded the resignation of the government and new elections but the Prime Minister Ali Larayedh rejected this possibility, although he announced presidential elections for the end of 2013.

The main labor union, the UGTT, called for a general strike and warned that these murders will lead the country to a bloodbath.

In Sidi Bouzid the demonstrators set fire barricades and also burned down the see of the ruling party, something that also happened in the nearby town of Meknassi. Police attacked them with tear gas.

Chad: children used to test "vaccine" suffer horrible consequences

On December 2012 five hundred children from Gouro, Chad, were rounded up at school and forced to be administered an injection said to be a vaccine against meningitis A, under the threat that otherwise they will not get access to superior education. The children were injected without their parents' knowledge.

This "vaccine" seems to be an untested drug, still in process of experimentation, and this experimentation in humans was surely the goal that the fake charity wanted to achieve. 

Soon the children suffered headaches, vomits, convulsions and even severe paralysis. The fake vaccinators run away from the village then. A physician took five days to arrive and when he did, there was nothing he could do. Finally some 50 children were moved to hospitals in Faya and Djamena, where some children from other villages also arrived.

But the children were soon brought back to their villages without even a single document being filled. Informally the families were given a payment said to amount to more than €1000 and verbally told that their children did not suffer any harm from the vaccine.

However at least 40 children have become paralyzed. Seven children were flown to Tunis, along with some other 20 patients whose data is not known. The doctors there reported that the adverse reaction from the vaccine was without consequences. Still one child had to be attended for amygdalitis, while others were reported to have other illnesses.

That was the official version. The parents tell a very different and rather horrific story: children keep suffering violent uncontrolled convulsions, falling unexpectedly to the ground. Prior to the "vaccination" the children were in good health and there had never been any meningitis case in the region.

FEMEN jump over the car of Tunisian Islamist PM

The radical feminist group FEMEN jumped in their usual topless style over the official vehicle of Tunisian Prime Minister Ali Laarayedh, when he was leaving the European Parliament see at Brussels. 

They demand freedom for the four members of their organization repressed by the Islamist government in Tunisia. 

The intervention of the fanatic leader's escort has been criticized by the activists as very violent, causing axphysia to one of them identified as Margo (the one being held by the leg in the photo), who lost consciousness and is still suffering headaches and other health problems. FEMEN considers that the life of Margo was put at risk.

Three Tunisian members of FEMEN were arrested by the Islamist regime on the grounds of "offense to morals" and "public disorder" after a topless protest in Tunis in solidarity with also imprisoned feminist Amina Sbui (aka Amina Tyler). 

Amina, who was the first Tunisian woman to dare to appear topless in Internet, as a protest against machista oppression is being tried secretly in Kairouan and has already been fined for having a pepper spray (a self-defense weapon which the authorities describe erroneously as "incendiary weapon").

FEMEN also demands the freedom of blogger Jabeur Mejri and all other people repressed by the Islamists in the North African country for using their undeniable right to freedom of expression. They accuse the Islamization policies of threatening women with torture, murder and mutilation (this last rather applies to Egypt). 

Laarayedh, who claims to ignore who are FEMEN (oh, c'mon!), admitted that he wants to push ahead the new Islamist constitution through a mere parliamentary vote, because he fears that a referendum would block it. He claims that the European Union supports his plans.
