Gunmen have attacked a beach hotel at a tourist resort in Tunisia, killing at least 27 people. Officials said one of the gunmen was shot dead by the security forces, and that the other was being pursued. The attack happened in the city of Sousse, which attracts large numbers of visitors from across Europe and North Africa. This was the second armed assault on a Tunisian tourist destination in a matter of months. In March Islamist gunmen killed more than 20 people in an attack on the Bardo Museum, in the capital Tunis.

Originally posted by PromKing No, because if it happened in America Media would have picked up on it, the majority of the impactful media is American, connect the dots.

Go to Morocco, i've been to both Tunisia and Morocco and they're the same (It's just two hours from here Germany, so i love to go from time to time. )

They're both very welcoming, the landscape, the resorts and hotels are flawless.

Unfortunately Tunisia isn't safe anymore since the political revolution, it's been a few years now
Morocco is still extremely safe, religious extremism is crushed by the current monarchy, it's almost non-existent.
