Torment in Tunisia

So it has started. The riots have begun. I can only say that unfortunately, I believe this is the beginning. You see in the MENA(Middle East and North African) region there is a large youth population. The problem has always been predicting how the youth will find employment. Now in Tunisia, the same youth has been protesting, because of lack of employment. Insane? Yes. Surprising? No. So what has the President done? He ran to Saudi Arabia. Oh how the mighty have fallen. How can someone be the President of a nation since 1987 and when a crisis comes he runs. How cowardly. How incompetent. How foolish.
So now, the public has been complaining about fear to leave the household and the anarchy that has now begun to plague the region. My opinion? Unless Tunis, Tunisia wants to see crime become a part of the city for decades to come, find those kids jobs. Find them jobs. Don't cling to your job at 80 years old find those kids jobs. This is just sad. For once I'm speechless. I have nothing else to say about this.
