Tunisia Saudi Arabia relations: Hundreds of Tunisians demonstrate against Saudi MBS visit - putting US President Trump to shame as to his silence on MSB's involvement murder Khashoggi

Hundreds of Tunisians took to the streets of Tunis last night to protest against the state visit of Saudi Crown Prince

Photos of demonstrators on Habib Bourguiba Street were shared hundreds of times on social media, with protestors rejecting the welcome offered to the Crown Prince by the Tunisian government.

Hashtags were set up to rally support online, including “There is no welcome for Bin Salman”, and “No to the killer of Khashoggi in Tunis”. Many also condemned the Crown Prince’s role in the war of Yemen, amid news last week that some 85,000 children have died from malnutrition over the past three years.

A smaller protest was also held outside Tunis’ municipal theatre, with demonstrators putting on a short play mocking the prince and holding him responsible for the killing, and reported dismemberment of Khashoggi.

Note EU-Digest: While Tunisians demonstrate in the street against the Saudi Crown Prince visit, we look across the Atlantic to America and unfortunately don’t see a champion of freedom and human rights in the White House anymore, instead we see a preening, clueless clown's non-reaction – to the Saudi regime’s brutal killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi . 

Yes indeed lavish Trump with praise. Treat him like a king. Wave a fistful of money in front of his face. And if you want to, kill an inconvenient journalist; he’ll look the other way. 

Come on Republicans and Democrats, take off your blinders and get rid of this ever increasing danger to what little is still left of American democracy.
