Tunisian liberals say that the U.S. Embassy in Tunis is unengaged with their efforts to make sure the Tunisian model remains one of expanding freedom.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I hope that with the success of the transition to democracy in Tunisia that we will export to Egypt a working democratic model.
Tunisia will continue to be a source of influence, not through its size but through the ideas and the models that it represents.
Tunisia was not for the United States an important country in the way, let's say, Algeria was because of its gas, because of its size, because of its struggle against terrorism that sometimes turned bloody.
Tunisia's responsibility, and especially that of its political and intellectual elites, is enormous. All the protagonists of the nation's social, cultural, economic and political life must work to overcome useless and counterproductive polarisation, and to find solutions to domestic, regional and international problems.
The Tunisian people will not bow. We will stay united against terrorism until we wipe out this phenomenon.
An ordinary Turk, an ordinary Arab, an ordinary Tunisian can change history. We believe that democracy is good, and that our people deserve it.
We pulled out of Libya. Now look what's happened: a safe haven, a vacuum, ISIS training militants to hit in Tunisia.
I dream of a free, democratic, peaceful Tunisia, a country that can protect its developing identity.
I'm the ranking Republican on the foreign aid appropriations subcommittee, so I know Tunisia well.
I would like to extend to you our deep appreciation and thanks for the position the United States has taken in support of the democratization process that has taken place in Tunisia, in Egypt, and what is attempting to take place in Libya.
